About this class
Discover the art of gray painting in an intensive 3-day workshop in Potsdam! You learn how to create impressive 3D effects with just white and minimal shades of color such as gray, brown or blue — inspired by ancient techniques used by the Old Masters. Under professional guidance, you will paint elements such as balustrades, masks or capitals on canvas or MDF board. Self-made acrylic glazes create illusions that can be perfectly integrated into wall paintings. A creative weekend with lots of exercises, an inspiring atmosphere and, optionally, can also be booked on a daily basis.
What you’ll do in the class

I'm a visual artist. My artistic professionalization began late. Before that, I worked nationwide in continuing education. I like to learn and try out new things myself. I particularly enjoy being able to enrich others with my knowledge.
