Advanced Watercolor Workshop – May 2025

May 19, 2025

My two-day advanced watercolor workshops for this year are now completed. As always, it’s inspiring to work with such skilled participants – the level has been high and the engagement impressive. I hope everyone has taken home some new insights and techniques.

During the course, we focused on making the painting connect – making sure the different parts of the watercolor come together into a living, unified whole. We also practiced applying the paint instead of brushing back and forth. The idea is to work with intention while still allowing the paint and water to do their part, creating a painting that truly breathes.

I hold this workshop twice every May. You can now apply for the 2026 courses, which will take place on May 12–13 and May 14–15. The number of spots is limited.

Please note: the course is held in Swedish, but I’m happy to assist English-speaking participants if needed.

Feel free to reach out if you’re interested!
