Course Info
Three Modules: One big experience
Dive into a deep watercolour experience. During the three weekend sessions, you will learn about colours and how to use them to illustrate and create abstract compositions. You will leave each session with new skills to enhance your watercolour creations.
For all colour fans
What colours can you mix to achieve the impact you am looking for? Have you ever wondered why some colours always go well together? Why do sometimes mixed colours end up in mud? If you ever had these questions, this watercolour course is for you.
Colour is a language, and as in most cases, you need to learn it to speak it. Let us guide you in your colour journey.
In “Eventually Everything Mixes”, Ame Binnara Kim will take you through the basics behind how colours are mixed, exploring colour types and mixes.
in “The Impact of Colour”, Andrea Figari will guide you to an extensive exploration of colour combination options to expand your colourful visual language. We will focusing on creating contrasts to achieve impact and covering several templates to create your own memorable colour combinations. This module will take inspiration from the colour teachings from the Bauhaus school of design, where masters like Johannes Itten, Paul Klee, Vassily Kandinsky and Gunta Stölzl used colour to express trailblazing imagery.
In “Fly like a Bird”, Yves Kervoelen will use the previous colour mixing and matching skills to teach you how to illustrate birds, as an exercise to see how an impactful colour mix can translate into your work.

Online, live and direct access
All You Need is a Phone, Tablet, or Laptop
No need to download any software, or register in any website. We send you a link, you click it and you are in.
Basic & recommended materials
Come with what you have. A basic 12 watercolour palette, a couple of brushes and watercolour paper will do the job in most cases. However, if you would like to explore colour in more depth, each artist provides a list of recommended materials for each of their workshops
Learn live session, practice later
We will do basic exercises while online. However, because watercolour painting often means painting and waiting to dry before continuing, we will also give you exercises to work at home on your own time.
Direct access to the artists
