Workshops for watercolor and urban sketching

online, in Germany and Europe

A travel journal filled with sketches is one of the most vivid memories you can create for yourself on vacation. Urban sketching is a relaxing hobby where you really connect with the places you live in or travel to. In my classes, I share my best tips and tricks with beginners and experienced artists alike for creating a wonderful watercolor and mixed-media sketchbook. I work for artistravel and A-ROSA river cruises. Whether in-person or online, I teach watercolor painting, perspective, shading, sketching, people, lettering, and much more through artistravel.

Creative trip with A-ROSA river cruises

A river cruise is like a floating hotel. Without any rough seas, you wake up in a new highlight city every single day.
I'll be cruising on the Rhine aboard the A-ROSA in 2024 and 2025. You can look forward to fun, easygoing workshops on watercolor and souvenir making, plus a speed portrait highlight with me in the lounge. At the same time, you'll enjoy all the perks of a river cruise: great food, entertainment, a spa, and amazing cities along the way.
