Watercolour plein air painting sessions - in London!

Von 32.79 $ /Std

Apart from being one of the oldest forms of self-expression, drawing and painting is scientifically proven to enhance brain function, raise serotonin levels, relax the nervous system and therefore improve our general well-being. Watercolor painting is particularly therapeutic as we explore the properties of watercolors through mark-making techniques which we can later apply in our more elaborate paintings. Even if you are a complete beginner with a 'can't do' attitude, I will guide you through the process of selecting a subject, doing an initial sketch, mixing colors, and applying some of the techniques we explored in the first stages of our class.

At present, I only offer outdoor sketching and painting sessions around London parks and green spaces. It's also a very enjoyable way of appreciating nature while learning a new skill. I will help you set up your easel if you are using one and help you set up for a successful outdoor session. When working outdoors weather conditions are often not ideal, wind, rain, too hot, too cold..etc. I will help you work with the elements which might just produce some of your best work as you work faster and more freely. There is nothing like capturing the atmosphere of a place on location. By working en plein air you are also telling a visual story of the place.

Ideal for visual storytellers, illustrators, bloggers, or anyone interested in gaining more confidence painting on location. I recommend a minimum of 2-hour session. Longer sessions can be arranged also.
Sessions can be booked in advance.

Über mich

For me a successful workshop is when the student leaves the class feeling uplifted and full of enthusiasm to create more art. My classes are informal and fun. As we are all inspired by different things, I let the student choose the subject which will help him or her to stay motivated and focused throughout the process of painting. I love passing on all the little tips and tricks of my craft that took me decades to master. I have a loose approach to watercolour painting which will guarantee quick and impressive results.

Bildung

I studied BTec Art & Design in Wimbledon School of Art and then BA (Hons) Illustration in the 90s and early 2000's in London. I also took short courses in textile design and various other crafts throughout the years. I am entirely self-taught in watercolour painting.

Erfahrung / Qualifikationen

I've been teaching drawing and watercolour painting since 2012. I'm also a professional watercolorist practising this beautiful craft for some 15 years. From time to time I take part in art competitions and have appeared in British art publications. I also organise painting holidays to various locations in the world where I teach plein air sketching and painting.

I am a researching collaborator in power electronics and I studied a master's degree in industrial engineering. I love to teach everything I have learned, in a structured and methodical way. I tutor mainly math, physics and mechanics at every level but don't hesitate to ask for some subject more specialized.

The freedom of creativity is the most attractive way of self expression. However, to achieve the mastery to utilise consciously and productively this freedom, with both joy and confidence, with value and satisfaction, you need to have the 'tools' and attain certain skills to guide, facilitate, and uncover your potential. A grate achievement could not be done without breaking the rules, but to break the rules convincingly and doubtlessly, you first need to learn, acknowledge, and understand their natural laws and traditions.
Therefore, I am inviting to my tutorial classes, where online or in person, on beginner or advanced level, you will meet and learn the basic and most important skills of Drawing and Painting systematically through observation and references. You will practice and experiment to fully master a medium or a technique, will support your practice with Art and Colour theory, Perspective, and History of Art, in order to start easily drawing yourself, interpreting a favourite scene or a subject on a paper or canvas, and will create you diverse and appealing collection of artworks with attention, imagination, and excitement.

Have you always wanted to pick up a creative hobby? Do you like creating beautiful things with your hands? Why don't you try out crepe paper flower making? It's a relaxing hobby and you get to decorate your home with your projects or give them as gifts to special ones.

During one session (120 min), you will get to create a small floral arrangement of your choice and take it home in a vase. All materials are provided.

Lesson Overview

Who: Johannes – Brand owner and Central Saint Martins graduate with experience in celebrity dressing and industry experience in luxury couture houses

Techniques & methodology: Practice-led, studio-based teaching combining draping on the body, pattern making, sewing, and portfolio development, tailored to individual goals

Lesson length: Typically 90 minutes, allowing time for hands-on making, discussion, and feedback

Who the lessons are for: Students aged 16+, including foundation, BA, and MA applicants, as well as early-career designers seeking portfolio refinement or industry insight

Languages: English and German

Focus: University applications, professional portfolios, technical development, and understanding industry expectations

I am the founder of the fashion brand Johannes and an actively practising designer, bringing an industry-focused approach to teaching. I support students in developing strong, competitive portfolios for university applications and professional roles, with clear guidance on concept development, editing, and presentation aligned with current academic and industry expectations.

My professional work includes designing and dressing international artists such as Björk, Lady Gaga, Grimes, Kylie Jenner, Megan Thee Stallion, Rina Sawayama, and Post Malone for performances, editorials, and public appearances. This experience gives students direct insight into professional standards, timelines, and the realities of working under pressure within the fashion industry. My technical foundation is shaped by experience in couture and luxury fashion environments including Viktor&Rolf, Givenchy, Balmain, and bespoke tailoring ateliers.

My teaching covers draping, pattern making, sewing, and hand-based construction techniques, with a strong focus on fit, proportion, and translating ideas into technically resolved garments. I offer targeted guidance on what universities are looking for at foundation, BA, and MA level: from creative curiosity and process at foundation stage, to technical skill, concept development, and visual clarity at BA level, through to research depth, authorship, and critical positioning at MA level. I work closely with students to ensure their portfolios clearly communicate both creative identity and readiness for academic or professional progression. I am fluent in German and, with formal training in painting, can also support students in developing visual research, composition, and fine art–led portfolio work where relevant.
