Mountain Moods in Watercolour

4 November – 9 December 2026

About the Instructor

Watercolor is the language I use to see and share the world. I was born in Moscow and now live and work in the Netherlands, where I’ve built a life around art, teaching, and quiet beauty.

Since 2021, I’ve been running my own watercolor studio and gallery in the historic center of Amsterdam. It’s a space where I paint, exhibit, and teach — helping others connect with their creativity through solid foundations in drawing, composition, color theory, and watercolor technique.

My paintings often focus on cityscapes and everyday scenes — not just what’s visible, but the feeling behind it. I try to capture something honest and poetic in ordinary moments.

About the Event

Mountains are never quite the same. In one landscape the peaks almost disappear into mist; in another they catch the last warm light of the day. Each evening of this series is a separate 3-hour masterclass with its own mountain landscape and its own watercolour challenge: snow and reflections, misty distances, dramatic skies, glowing evening light, expressive foregrounds.

Every masterclass starts with the reference — what creates the mood, where the contrasts are, what to simplify — and then we paint step by step together, with each stage demonstrated first and personal guidance throughout.

Wednesdays 18:30–21:30, 4 November – 9 December. All materials provided.

Level: intermediate — you should have used wet-on-wet, wet-on-dry, washes and basic colour mixing before. Book a single masterclass for €70, or save with a bundle of 4, 5 or all 6 evenings.
