Beginner Watercolor Workshop with Maria van Dijk

Paint with Confidence and Flow

Experience the beauty and freedom of watercolor painting in this two-hour hands-on workshop led by Maria van Dijk, an award-winning watercolor artist and founder of the Suriname Watercolor Society.

Designed especially for beginners, this workshop introduces you to the essential techniques of watercolor — from brush control and washes to layering and creating soft, luminous effects.
Participants will learn to paint step by step while discovering how to let water and pigment blend naturally to create expressive results.

No previous experience is required — just your curiosity and love for color.
All materials are provided for use during the session, so you can simply come, relax, and enjoy painting in a friendly and supportive environment.
