Watercolor Painting (13:00 - 17:00), 1500 CZK

"The painter must know at first that the truth is hidden in subtlety."

(Su Tungpcho)

As part of the Watercolor Painting Course, we will learn about watercolor painting techniques, showcase the possibilities that this kind of painting offers, how to prepare the paper before painting, and how to adjust the resultant painting. Watercolor is often being considered as the "most difficult" painting technique, as it does not offer much space for repairs, such as oil painting. With us, however, you can easily handle the watercolor painting and you do not have to worry about it. Painting course is held in the creative atmosphere of the art studio, on warmer days we will go to paint into the Riegrovy sady, where we will study space and colorfulness of the landscape.

Why Paint With a Watercolors? Perhaps because of its charm of the freshness of the painter's stroke, the translucency of the painting, ease of administration, swiftness, capturing changes caused by atmospheric effects or fragility of architectural elements, purity of expression or brilliant colors that were used in art history primarily Expressionists.
 
Learn to take a watercolor with you on a trip! For this painting, you do not need a lot of equipment. One of the benefits of watercolor is that you can carry it with you anywhere. Take a watercolor in the backpack in nature, paint at home on your desk or anywhere directly on the knee.

Paint a picture with watercolors! The watercolor technique can be traced back to ancient times. Already prehistoric painters used color pigment combined with water or grease for painting in caves.
