Books

Paper is still one of the most up-to-date information carriers. Fast-moving and permanent. Everything is put on paper. The paperless office is not and will certainly not become a reality. Printed matter as short-term information. Printed material in book form. As a product that can be used for years to come. That supports and enables training and further education. Provides information in all areas.

Painting with acrylic paints

The preoccupation with colors and shapes allows us to immerse ourselves in our inner worlds and unleash our creativity. We learn how to use and apply acrylic paints and other media, explore the color wheel and the effect of colors in our pictures and find our way into abstract painting.

In this course, you will get to know a fascinating side of non-representational acrylic painting.

Free painting and design for children

The lesson is  rhythmized into guided and free sequences. The children learn how to use brushes and paint. They get to know shapes, draw rhythmically and mix colors. One part always consists of free painting and drawing with watercolors, chalks and colored pencils. I support them when they need help.
In addition to the hectic pace and sensory overload of the children, I want to give them the opportunity to simply be themselves for a short time.

Encaustic - Wax Painting from Antiquity

Historically, wax painting can be traced back to Roman times and antiquity. Wax painting was a common way of decorating walls at the time. Mummy shrines were also painted using this technique. Wax paintings were given a sheen that could not be achieved with the paints of the time, such as those based on egg tempera as a binding agent. Wax has the property of taking on a waterproof form over time in conjunction with masonry. Historically, encaustic painting has been little researched. Encaustic painting techniques were also sometimes used in icon painting.

Encaustic is an artistic painting technique in which color pigments bound in wax are applied hot to the painting surface.
