Switch off creatively – in the middle of the forest

Let yourself be surprised: in Giulia’s painting course, your own picture takes shape step by step – whether a colourful owl or a mandala. After a short introduction, you paint with clear guidance – no previous experience needed. Even if you haven’t held a brush since your school days, you’re in exactly the right place.

In the end you don't just go home with a good feeling, but with your own picture – finished, unique and made by you. And if the weather plays along, we move the studio outdoors, into the nature around our Natural lake.

Your mandala workshop

Mandalas are among the favourite motifs in the painting course. Try it out here: draw a line across the disc with your mouse or finger – it is mirrored several times, and dot by dot your own mandala takes shape. Almost like a little meditation. You’ll get the real feel of brush and paint with Giulia.
