About this class

You need a birthday card or would like to send invitations — preferably something special, unique. Then this painting course in Cologne is just right for you. Design greeting cards yourself and learn how to use watercolors. Perhaps you would also like to give away a nice card for Valentine's Day or Mother's Day. Try out the new neon watercolors. During our watercolor course, you will receive a round postcard or a folding card on request.

Where does the watercolor course for designing greeting cards take place?

The watercolor course takes place in various locations. Remember that we have to eat something in the café — which is not difficult for us, because there is a wide selection of homemade delicacies.

  • Tuesdays at the café “Where is Tom? “in Cologne Sülz, an integrative café run by Lebenshilfe Köln.
  • Sat/Sun at the Potpourri restaurant in the Altenberger Hof community center in Cologne.

We are already looking forward to your participation in the painting course in Cologne.

What you’ll do in the class

You will not only learn how to paint with watercolors, but you will also create your own unique piece for every occasion. In this watercolor course, we create greeting or greeting cards together.

  • The course lasts 2 hours
  • I'll show you how to use watercolors
  • I will help you with watercolor painting
  • After the course, you can have your greeting cards printed as postcards, for example

Who is the class suitable for?

The course is suitable for anyone who wants to make their greetings a bit more personal, which will show the recipient your effort and love. You can also learn to watercolor here, as I will show you all painting techniques for watercolor painting step by step.

Details to remember

What to bring to the class

You're just in a good mood, we'll do the rest together. Maybe you'll bring a folder with you so you can safely transport your picture home.

What is included in the class?

  • I provide all necessary materials (paper, pens, paint and stamps) and I have great examples with me that serve as inspiration
  • I will also help you design your greeting cards so that your greetings can be a complete success

Es hat mir sehr gut gefallen. Kleine Teilnehmerrunde. Der Kurs war aber in Bonn und nicht in Köln. So war das auch von mir geplant . Ich bin mit meinem Ergebnis zufrieden.

One of the few courses for everyone and that you can recommend to everyone. I have rarely seen course instructors who can so skillfully lead inexperienced participants to remarkable success with lots of empathy, good preparation and honest praise. You simply feel better after participating. Highly recommended for confetti. WB

The course was super fun. We had a good time and Susanne took a lot of time for us and explained the painting well. She also answered individual questions brilliantly. I immediately bought a watercolor box 😊

We really enjoyed the course. The three of us took part without experience in watercolor painting and felt that we were in very good hands with Susanne. She explains well, gives everyone the freedom to create their own greeting cards and provides support at any time in a very pleasant and motivating way. We are very pleased with our great results and would immediately book another course with Susanne.

A great course for the perfect introduction to watercolor painting. After a short introduction, we immediately painted the first two postcards with an individual motif. The course instructor answered every question and gave us motivational tips.

The course “Watercolor Painting Postcards” took place in the pleasant atmosphere of the café “Where is Tom?” instead of. With valuable and helpful tips and tricks from the course instructor, participants were able to design individual cards. Absolute recommendation!

The course was well prepared and the locations were well selected. High-quality materials were made available and, when asked, it was reported what they actually are and are also available for purchase. In the short time available, the techniques were adequately described at the beginning. During painting, questions were answered and tips and suggestions were given. Unfortunately, the time ran out much too quickly, but the anticipation of your own painting table is unbelievably nice. Thanks for the time.

The course was simply great. I really enjoyed learning something completely different, completely new and realizing that I can also be creative. We first learned a few basics and saw examples and were then able to get started ourselves. I've never painted with watercolors before and yet I created two really nice cards. Thank you so much!

We really enjoyed it. With different previous knowledge and talents, we were well received. It was nice that although we had good support, we were able to decide freely and creatively how we would like to design our greeting cards at any time. Very friendly and open course instructor. I have learned today that art is often created simply by doing. Spontaneous ideas were implemented quickly and easily and became even more beautiful. Thank you so much We highly recommend it.
