Secret Gardens: Botanical Watercolour in the Open Air

Join us for a two-day Botanical Watercolour experience, where we’ll step out of the studio and into two almost hidden gardens in Friedrichshain to paint plants directly from life 🌿

Over two days, we’ll meet in two different, almost hidden gardens in Friedrichshain—quiet green corners of the city where we can slow down, observe, and paint plants directly from life. Think wild flowers, textured leaves, unexpected shapes, shifting light… and the simple joy of painting outdoors.

This is more than just a meet-up: it’s a guided class designed to help you grow your skills while you enjoy the process. We’ll start each session exploring essential watercolour techniques—wet-on-wet, layering, colour mixing, and transparency—and then apply them to what we see around us. You’ll learn how to approach different types of plants, how to simplify complex forms, and which techniques and effects work best for each subject.

No experience needed—just curiosity, and a love for plants, light, and slow summer days 🌱

The workshop includes two classes, but you’re also welcome to join individual sessions.
