Watercolor Painting at the Maria-Seltmann-Haus: Color, Water, and Creative Discovery
The course Painting Watercolors invites you to a focused examination of works and a vivid art experience. At the Maria-Seltmann-Haus in Weiden, the classic technique of watercolor painting unfolds as an aesthetic experience between transparency, layering, and the delicate interplay of light and pigment.
The Poetics of Watercolor
Watercolor is one of the oldest painting techniques and thrives on its special openness: The painting surface shines through the layers of color, water directs the flow of pigment, and each layer changes the effect of the pictorial space. Exactly this tension between control and chance makes this painting style captivating. Participants gain insight into substrates, colors, and basic techniques, ranging from the first application to transparent depth effects.
Learning with Artistic Substance
Under the guidance of Ernst Umann, artist, the course conveys not only practical foundations but also an understanding of the language of the medium. Those who engage in watercolor painting train their eye guidance, color sensitivity, and sense of composition. The offering is aimed at everyone who wants to rediscover creative potential through color and water.

The Maria-Seltmann-Haus is established in Weiden as an open place for education, encounters, and culture. The crafting room on the first floor provides a fitting environment for focused work, quiet material experience, and collaborative learning.
