Unleash your creativity during this one-day painting workshop, where your favorite (house)animal takes center stage! In a relaxed atmosphere, you’ll explore color, shape, and expression.
Whether you want to portray your loyal four-legged friend, an exotic fantasy creature, or your own spirit animal, everything is allowed, nothing is required. Step by step, you’ll discover how to bring your animal to life. Playful, intuitive, and entirely your own.
Guided by an enthusiastic artist, you’ll dive into color combinations, brush techniques, and unique styles. You’ll experiment, laugh, make mistakes (which often turn into the best discoveries!), and leave with a personal artwork full of character. This day is perfect for anyone craving a creative boost.
No painting experience needed — just a bit of curiosity and a love for animals. Come, take pictures of your pet, and be surprised by what emerges from your brush!
This workshop will be taught in English, but of course everyone is welcome to join!
