During the two hours of this workshop, the participants will create a watercolor portrait using a technique called alla prima*. The participants will receive instructions on how to layer. We will start with a general overview, diving into details as soon as the paper dries. Colors float with this technique, often unpredictable and uncontrollable. We will try to learn how to enjoy the chaos water provides, and see it as an adventure that can give new input for future creativity. After a bit of practice, this technique can become a joyful play with water, colors, and flow.
*Alla prima refers to a direct painting approach where paint is applied wet on wet without letting earlier layers dry.
The proficiency of participants is inconsequential. It can be useful for professionals who would like to improve their art technique as well as for beginners who are looking forward to exploring new ways of creating watercolors.
The workshop will be held in English, with the possibility to ask specific questions or to get an additional individual explanation in German, and Ukrainian.
Please bring your own watercolor. We will provide paper
