Workshop drawing and watercolours for adults

Wander through Portlantis, get inspired by the various exhibitions and get to work under the guidance of art teacher Joanna Smolarz.

There is no place more inspiring than the port. At Portlantis , you will be introduced to the port of today and the future. Wander through the extraordinary building and discover the various exhibitions. Be surprised by the different shapes, colours and textures. Or climb the stairs to the roof where you have a magnificent view of the North Sea, ships, port and industry.

Get started!

Had enough inspiration? Then it's time to get to work yourself. Find a spot amid the exhibitions, in a meeting room with a beautiful view or, weather permitting, on the roof. We work in the atmosphere of 'urban sketching': you look, discover and record what you see in a relaxed way.Joanna will show you what to look out for and give you tips on how to make your harbour drawing. It is not about a perfect result, but about the pleasure of watching and drawing. You will go home with a unique work of art and a special experience. This workshop is suitable for both beginners and advanced artists.
