Berlin Art Club

What if a lake floated in the sky, a staircase disappeared into the clouds, or mountains grew upside down?

In this four-week watercolour workshop, we'll explore imaginary landscapes that combine familiar places with unexpected elements, creating dreamlike scenes that exist somewhere between reality, fantasy, and the surreal.

Throughout the course, I'll introduce you to different watercolour techniques, including atmospheric washes, distant mountains, colour blending, and layering.

But this workshop is about more than painting techniques! We'll also play with our imagination through creative exercises inspired by the Dadaists and Surrealists: word games, free association, unexpected juxtapositions, changes of scale, and combinations of impossible images. These playful experiments will help us break away from familiar ways of seeing and discover new ideas for our paintings.

Whether you dream of floating islands, strange forests, impossible architecture, or quiet places that feel vaguely familiar, you'll have the chance to develop your own visual language and create landscapes that tell a story.

No previous watercolour experience is needed — just curiosity and a willingness to experiment!

Nos encontramos como siempre para conocernos, intercambiar información y sobre todo apoyarnos en nuestro camino por estas grises tierras.

Para los nuevos: el Encuentro es un espacio de diálogo y de intercambio de ideas. Quedan invitados artistas de todo tipo: pintura, ilustración, diseño, música, fotografía, danza, teatro, video y cualquier otra disciplina.

Además, contaremos con tres charlas de artistas que nos compartirán su camino y nos ofrecerán consejos de supervivencia ;)

📅 Sábado 7.11 de 16 a 19 hs
Ponyhof: Breitenbachstraße 34-36, 13509 Reinickendorf

If you’re just starting out with watercolours—maybe you’ve painted a bit at home or followed a tutorial or two, but still feel a little lost—I think you’re going to like this!

First, we’ll practice wet-on-wet, layering washes, colour mixing, transparency and more. After this first part of the class, once you’ve discovered a few watercolour effects, you’ll have time to practise them by applying them to simple shapes (animals, plants, etc.) that I’ll provide. With the help of examples—and my guidance, of course—you’ll practise alongside other watercolour enthusiasts, supporting and learning from one another.

No previous experience needed—just curiosity and a willingness to explore.
