What you can expect

  • We will meet by the lake, opposite the entrance to the Villa Olmo gardens;
    After getting to know each other, I will distribute the materials needed to get started:

    • support with watercolour paper
    • pencil
    • watercolour pencil
    • ink pen
    • water brush
      We will observe the view of Lake Como and I will give you some tips on how to effectively set up your pencil work; after going over it with the ink pen, I will show you how to use watercolour pencils, how to create and overlap colours and create unexpected shades; finally, with the water brushes with a reservoir, I will guide you in transforming the drawing into a beautiful watercolour painting. Together, we will see how to reinforce the work or how to make it lighter. What is certain is that everyone will be satisfied with their sketch, which will be full of personality, recognisable, and different from the others!
      You don't need to know how to draw or paint – let yourself be guided!
