Perfect for both beginners and experienced artists.
This four-session workshop introduces you to the vibrant world of August Macke, a key figure of German Expressionism and member of Der Blaue Reiter. Together we’ll learn how to simplify everyday life into bold color and rhythm, combine figures with abstraction, and work with Fauvist-inspired palettes without fear.

Café Sketches in Watercolor.
We complete our copy and then switch to quick, expressive watercolor sketches based on photographs of cafés and street life. The exercise focuses on simplifying faces and figures into large, flat blocks of color and capturing greenery, onlookers, or passersby with bold brushstrokes.

Landscapes
We explore Macke’s lyrical landscapes. Weather permitting, we sketch outdoors in a nearby park; otherwise, we work in the studio from reference images. The emphasis is on transforming natural scenes into rhythmic, abstracted compositions full of light and color.

Live drawing sessions: nude model
Every week, we gather to study the human form through quick nude sketches. Each pose lasts from 2 to 12 minutes, helping to train your eye, refine your technique, and appreciate the beauty of every body. These sketches become not only a valuable artistic exercise but also an incredible resource for future painting projects.
Our models are contemporary dancers, actors, professional models, and plus-size models. Their unique energy, movement, and charisma make each session an inspiring creative experience.
We encourage artistic freedom—use pencils, ink, pastels, pens, watercolor, gouache, or even collage. You can work at a table or an easel, whichever suits your style.
This is more than just drawing—it’s a meditative practice that enhances observation skills, calms the mind, and unlocks your creative potential. Join us!
You can attend a course of four sessions for a discounted price 32000 HUF, or one session is 9000 HUF.
