|Workshops

Each workshop takes place on the first Wednesday of the month from 8:00 PM to 10:00 PM (CET). Every session explores a new creative subject and helps you develop your watercolour sketchbook practice.

Wednesday, 2 September | Monochrome Magic

Discover how much you can create using just one colour. In this workshop, Lucas will show you how to work with a monochrome palette through a series of practical exercises. Explore values, layering, textures and shading while discovering the expressive possibilities of a single colour.

Wednesday, 7 October | Light & Shadow

This workshop explores how to use light, shadow and value to create volume and dimension in watercolour. Participants will work with a single dark colour and learn how light and shadow can transform a drawing, creating depth and making a face appear or disappear.

Wednesday, 4 November | Space (and collisions)

As the name suggests, this next class will be all about Space (and Collisions).

In this workshop, I’ll show you how to incorporate color mixing into your drawings. Using just three colors as your personal color spectrum, we’ll explore how to create subtle shades and keep your palette harmonious from one painting to the next. We’ll also experiment with abstract painting to loosen up your hand and let the magic happen.

For this session, please bring three colors:

  • A red (or a pink, purple, or orange)
  • A blue (or a turquoise, green, or bluish purple)
  • A yellow (or an orange, raw sienna, or lime green)

As in the previous workshop, a medium-sized, all-purpose synthetic brush is really all you need. If you’d like to take it a step further (which is a great way to improve!), bring a stiff hog-bristle brush and a round brush for holding more water. Please also bring a white plate or a mixing palette for blending colors.

Wednesday, 2 December

Details coming soon.

Share your artwork and win!

After each workshop, share your finished sketchbook page on Instagram using #rembrandtsketchbook.

Lucas will select his favourite entries, and three participants will win a Rembrandt watercolour prize related to that month's workshop.

The winners will be announced approximately two weeks after each workshop.
