About this class

Are you interested in learning to paint — and that in your area? Then our painting course in Cologne is just right for you.

Where does the course take place?

Please note: The workshops on the weekend take place at Café Potpourri, Mauenheimerstraße 92 in Cologne Nippes.

Your imaginative motifs are also great to print as postcards. Your works of art are a great gift idea for your loved ones and, of course, for yourself.

We are already looking forward to your participation and will accompany you as you learn to paint.

What you’ll do in the class

  • You will get an introduction to watercolor painting
  • We'll show you step by step how to swing your brush to get the best result from your work of art
  • You create your own work of art that you can also take home

Who is the class suitable for?

Our painting courses in Cologne are perfect for beginners! Intuitive painting is the ideal technique for overcoming the fear of white sheets of paper. That is why doodling (intuitive painting) is ideal to make it easier to get started and perhaps to paint regularly again.

From mixing colors to implementing them on paper, we teach you everything you need step by step.

To get a detailed insight into what to expect during the watercolor course, you can read about the watercolor technique again in the article Painting Watercolor for Beginners.

As a textile designer, mother and lover of DIY projects, I always find one thing confirmed: “Doing it yourself makes you happy.” That's why I developed watercolor and macramé workshops. Feel free to find out with friends which project appeals to you the most.

I look for good material for good results. I'll make the instructions as easy as possible, so you can really participate as a beginner <3

Really a great atmosphere! The course instructor Susanne had lots of good tips for getting started with watercolor painting. It was also exciting to see how individually the other participants painted. So it wasn't just learning from Susanne, but also from and with everyone else.

Jan, I'm happy that you felt so comfortable and well looked after. I also really enjoyed the group and your outcome.

That was a really great experience. I particularly liked the watercolor technique because the painting is never static, but something happens with every brush stroke. Great for beginners too. Thank you Susanne for your tips, encouragement and a lovely afternoon!

Dear Stefanie, I'm very happy about that. I've admired your use of color. You were definitely the expressionist among the participants.

It was really fun and the instructions were understandable and easy to use. Absolute recommendation to anyone who wants to try watercolor painting. I would like to have space in the potpourri at the top next time, as it was quite tight and loud at the bottom, but Susanne, our course instructor, couldn't do anything about it.

It was soooo much fun: Susanne is a super appreciative counterpart, with whom you immediately feel comfortable and simply want to gain new painting experiences. That was certainly not my last workshop 😄

The course with Susanne was a lot of fun and the various universes of the participants were very successful. Anyone looking for an introduction to acrylic painting is in good hands here. Your own creativity is challenged and you take home beautiful pictures and experiences.

I really liked it, especially as a beginner, I received good tips to get started right away. The rooms were a bit cramped and too dark for me. But overall very nice, very nice instructor with lots of suggestions.

It's a super familiar atmosphere, you're not under pressure and even as a bloody beginner, you can create something really beautiful. We are very impressed and it was great fun. Great gift idea for your best friend, for example! Lara and Sanja

Susanne creates a very pleasant atmosphere and, in addition to painting, the whole thing then gets something meditative (which is not usually mine, but just right in the two hours). Sometimes it's difficult to hear the explanation, even if you're sitting close to it, as it's relatively loud in the café. In general, a nice atmosphere and easily accessible for everyone.
