The wonderful region around Lake Garda provides a rich setting for drawing and watercolour painting en plein air. Learning to be creative is easy and especially enjoyable, when surrounded by such an infinite array of inspirational motifs. Perceived impressions are held on paper, and can be expressed in very personal ways using lines, gestures and colours.
This intensive 4-day course involves several day trips around the Lago di Garda and Trentino.
This course is for everyone who would like to start sketching and watercolour painting outdoors. It is also open to those who have already painted and would like to refresh their knowledge. The beginner, as well as the experienced sketcher/ painter, can find plenty of challenging motifs in this course.
We will learn and practice:
The course is limited to small groups (min. 10 to max. 18 people). The course is held in German, but English supervision is always possible.

The wonderful region around Veneto provides a rich setting for drawing and watercolour painting en plein air. We are surrounded by an infinite array of inspirational motifs, both architectural gems and natural settings. Our perceived impressions are held on paper, and can be expressed in very unique ways using lines, gestures and colours, often arriving at very personal visualizations of the places seen and graphic effects.
This intensive 4-day course involves several day trips in Padua, Vicenza (Villa Rotonda) and Bassano del Grappa.
This course is conceived for those who have already drawn and watercolour sketching outdoors, and is ideal for architects and landscape architects, as well as for students of creative disciplines. The day trips to the different cities offer motifs, which are varied and, at times, complex. However, even the less experienced sketcher and painter can choose simpler motifs for their pictures, and, with practice, can achieve increasingly sophisticated scenes and images in a short space of time.
We will learn and practice:
The course is limited to small groups (min. 10 to max. 18 people). The course is held in German, but English supervision is always possible.
Padua, Vicenza (Villa Rotonda), Bassano del Grappa and Monselice

Drawing remains the most instinctive way to visualize first ideas quickly and expressively on paper. Confident, quick sketches can not only document what we see, they can also be part of communicating to others, and play an important role when designing and developing new concepts. Freehand drawing enhances creativity, gives us a personal freedom to explore, perceive and express the world around us. And not least, drawing and sketching is fun.
LineScape courses can help increase confidence when drawing and communicating on paper, whether a quick sketch or a final presentation. Individual styles and graphic expression can become a distinct and recognizable signature feature.
Once confidence is achieved, drawing can be integrated into the daily routine and, in the planning professions, can help effectively persuade and communicate with others.
Workshops and courses with emphasis on freehand drawing, sketching and illustration can be conceived to meet individual needs, from beginners’ level to advanced courses, even in combination with digital media (Photoshop).
Courses can be put together for professional landscape architects, planners and designers, as well as for laypersons and enthusiasts.
The linework of a hand drawing can be uniquely enhanced with watercolours, and amplified with gestures and effects.
These LineScape courses involve visiting inspiring landscapes and cities, and drawing on site. Being outside heightens the senses and sharpens our observational skills. The resulting drawings are often very personal and expressive, since seeing is selective and participants can focus on what interests them.
The drawing courses that happen outside of our daily environments and routine, especially the excursions in Italy, offer many inspirational motifs for drawing. The break from the digital world and the immersion in beautiful landscapes often gives the mind a freedom to explore new ideas with pencil and brush.
These artistic and creative drawing courses not only train graphic skills, they fine-tune perception and observation, offering the possibility to achieve individual creative expression.
Architects, landscape architects and designers, as well as anyone who enjoys drawing and watercolour sketching under the open sky.
Basic drawing skills are desirable but courses can be fine-tuned to any level.
Courses and excursions can be organized according to your needs and wishes.
They can happen in universities and colleges, or in offices and studios. Whether you are a professional planner, landscape architect, a drawing enthusiast or student group, a course and theme can be conceived and suited to you.
