Your instructor
Instructor Monika
I’ve been painting with watercolor for the past three years. Watercolor is a force of nature that I used to be afraid of, and it didn’t come naturally to me. Then I saw what could be created with it, and since then I’ve been pushing both my brushes and myself to improve. At the beginning, I threw everything away, tried and tried again, used photos as references, then my own photos – and now I paint from real life.
From what I’ve learned, I’ll be happy to show you a few key techniques to get started, without overwhelming you. We’ll create our own guide that you can pull out anytime – and you’ll definitely leave feeling inspired.

Beneath the stationery shop with café, we have a space where workshops and courses take place peacefully, even during opening hours.
