Book your appointment during the week or at the weekend

​

We have space for max. 6 people in studio

max. 10 persons outdoor

 

What do you need to know?

 

This workshop is about fun, stress relief, communication and creation. 

In this workshop you will learn new painting techniques: we work mainly with palette knives, brushes and spoons. We mix, scratch, wipe, brush, paint and throw the colours onto the canvas. Previous knowledge is no obstacle - but also not absolutely necessary. What is really important is to have the courage to try something new or to learn something new. Along the way, you get to know like-minded people or your team better and you can exchange tips and tricks or simply treat yourself to a few hours of time for yourself. 

 

Uncover your own artistic identity! 

 

The artist Stephanie Künzli Ycaza will show you various techniques and respond individually to your previous knowledge, wishes and needs. 

 

Aim of the courses

Surely the goal of every participant is to paint a great picture that might fit beautifully over the red sofa or in the dining area. As a rule, this is achieved.

But it is at least as interesting to find out how to bring tension and tranquillity into a picture. Where should the viewer look and how do I influence that? Which techniques do I use and when is an abstract painting actually finished?

These are some of the questions to which we seek and find answers in the course. My personal goal is to show each individual what is possible. Creativity lies dormant in each of us and often we ourselves are the most amazed at what talents lie dormant within us! Time to discover them and live them out!

 

The focus is on the joy and enthusiasm of artistic work. Everyone who enjoys experimenting, whether beginner or experienced, is cordially invited. 

 

We ask for your understanding that, due to Corona, the number of participants must be limited to 10.
