Join us for a cozy workshop where you will paint your own version of Birth of Venus!

We won't try to replicate the masterpiece with jewelry-like precision. Instead, we'll take from Botticelli what matters most: composition, flowing lines, and delicate hues - and then we'll create our own personal interpretation of this iconic painting. Under the gentle guidance of professional artist Margarita we'll divide the process into simple steps: from basic outlines to soft accents and ocean waves 🌊🖌️

This is a space for beginners, dreamers, and anyone who has ever wanted to paint something beautiful but didn't know where to start. All materials are provided.

In this workshop you will:
✨ Learn the basics of figurative painting
✨ Discover how to create soft, luminous skin tones and flowing hair
✨ Practice adding delicate details to your painting
✨ Take home a finished painting that will become your own little masterpiece

Welcome to this easy-going creative session designed to relax after a long workday, experiment with watercolor, and enjoy the process without worrying about painting something "perfect".

Throughout the workshop, you'll learn a variety of expressive and playful watercolor techniques. You'll try each one on small pieces of paper, freely exploring abstract shapes, color combinations, or any ideas that inspire you in the moment. Once you've created a collection of painted fragments, you'll transform them into one unique abstract collage! All materials are provided, and no previous experience is needed 🎨

What to expect:
✨ A beginner-friendly introduction to expressive watercolor techniques
✨ Plenty of playful creative experiments
✨ A relaxed atmosphere with music, drinks, and great company
✨ Your own one-of-a-kind abstract collage to take home
