Psychedelic Zoo is a 3-hour class with the aim of guiding you into the world of watercolor through a creative and explorative approach.
Opening with a 1-hour introduction to the very basics of the technique, this class is suitable for absolute beginners as well as intermediate artists looking to deepen their practice or give it a more experimental style.
We move progressively from abstract blobs painted during the introduction into the figures of animals and insects, while keeping a playful approach. The intention of the class is not to achieve a naturalistic depiction, but rather to approach motifs and material with curiosity, connecting with our playful side.
Animals and insects serve as a reference and guideline (as well as an excuse!) to mix colors and let them flow in the water — the perfect ice-breaker for those who take watercolor too seriously.
