About this experience
This watercolor workshop in Berlin is designed for complete beginners who want to try watercolor painting and leave with a finished result.
Led by Berlin-based artist Jenny Andreeva, the workshop follows a clear, step-by-step process that is easy to follow. You are guided through each stage and still have space to paint and explore on your own.
You start with the basics: how watercolor behaves, how to control water and pigment, how to mix colors, and how to build a simple composition. Everything is demonstrated in a way that is easy to understand, even if you have never painted before.
As the session progresses, you move from small exercises to creating a complete watercolor painting. You understand each step instead of simply copying.
The workshop focuses on clarity, confidence, and hands-on practice. You do not need any previous experience, just curiosity to try something new.
All materials are provided, including professional watercolor paints, paper, and tools, so you can focus fully on the creative process.
By the end of the workshop, you take home a finished watercolor painting and a strong foundation to continue painting on your own.
Perfect for beginners, expats in Berlin, and anyone looking for a structured creative experience with a tangible result in one session.
