About This session：

This is a walk-in, self-directed painting session open to students who have previously taken classes at our studio and are familiar with basic watercolour techniques.

You’re welcome to use the studio’s tools and browse our collection of art books as you work on your own painting projects.
Think of it as a cosy, informal watercolour club — a weekend gathering where we paint together, share ideas, and enjoy a relaxed, creative atmosphere.

Please note: The tutor’s main attention will be focused on the scheduled workshop running at the same time. Guidance will only be available during quieter moments.
If you expect to need more feedback or help, we recommend coming in the afternoon, or checking with the tutor beforehand to see how busy the workshop will be.

这是一个Walk-in 自习绘画课，专为在本工作室学习过、并已掌握基础技法的同学开放。

你可以自由使用工作室提供的画材与书籍，自主设定创作主题，享受一段专注而自由的绘画时光。老师也会在一旁提供简单的指导和疑难解答。

这个课程更像是一个温暖的小型水彩社团，每到周末，我们聚在一起画画、交流创作，在轻松的氛围中彼此陪伴与成长。

**请注意：**由于老师的主要精力将集中在当天的正式工作坊上，自习课仅在老师空闲时提供适度指导。如果你当天需要较多建议，建议选择下午时段来，或提前向老师确认当天 workshop 的繁忙程度。

What Do Our Participants Learn?

In our Paint As You Come sessions, each student works at their own pace. Some bring unfinished pieces, some recreate artworks they admire, and others start fresh to explore new techniques.

Although this is a self-directed class, the tutor is available to offer professional support whenever possible. Common areas of guidance include:

  • ✏️ Improving composition and sketch structure

  • 🖌️ Techniques for colour mixing and contrast control

  • 🖼️ Understanding basic perspective and avoiding common mistakes

  • 🌊 Creating layered textures for water, foliage, and natural elements

  • 🪄 Breaking down online tutorials into practical, step-by-step processes

We aim to create a warm and responsive creative space — no pressure, no fixed pace, but a knowledgeable tutor always nearby. Whether you're here to unwind after work or to build your portfolio, you're welcome to learn in your own way.

🎨 Student Showcase 1:

I love this cosy, art-filled studio. Every Saturday, it offers me a chance to step away from work and fully immerse myself in a calm, creative space.

One of my favourite things is the bookshelf — I often pick a painting from one of Vencho’s many watercolour books to copy, then spend the whole afternoon quietly painting. Being here helps me slow down and reconnect with the joy of making art just for myself.

I started with no experience, and now, after more than a year of painting here, I’ve learned so much. Sometimes I even get to help answer questions from newer students — which feels like a small but meaningful milestone in my own growth.

— Zoey

我很喜欢这个充满艺术气息的小画室。每个周六，它都让我暂时从工作的节奏中抽离，沉浸在安静、专注的创作氛围里。

我特别喜欢这里的书架。我常常从 Vencho 的画册里挑一幅喜欢的作品来临摹，然后一坐就是一个下午。在这里画画，我能真正静下心来，感受到“只是为了自己而创作”的那种自在。

从零基础开始，到现在已经在这里画了一年多，我不仅学会了很多水彩技法，偶尔还能帮忙解答其他同学的问题。这种成长的感觉，对我来说特别珍贵。

🎨 Student Showcase 2:

Before joining the beginner watercolour class, I had almost no experience with watercolours and mostly did simple pencil sketches.
After the class, I gained the confidence to start carrying a sketchbook with me and began capturing small scenes during my travels.
Each time I return to the studio, I bring these sketches, note down the challenges I faced, and work through them during the session — often repainting them in watercolour with the tutor’s guidance.
— Nick


在参加新手水彩课之前，我几乎没有水彩经验，平时只习惯用铅笔做些简单练习。上完课之后，我开始有了信心随身带一本速写本，在旅行中画小画。每次回到课堂，我会带着这些速写和我遇到的问题请教老师，我非常开心每周六可以来参加这个自学课堂。

🎨 Student Showcase 3:

I especially enjoy painting small pieces and floral subjects. The studio has such a calm and relaxing atmosphere, and the teacher’s guidance has given me the confidence to try more complex work.

I’ve even set up a little watercolour corner at home now. I love making handmade cards and giving them to my family and friends — it brings me so much quiet joy.

— Anonymous Student

我特别喜欢画一些小幅作品和各种花卉。在这个画室里，我非常享受轻松、安静的创作氛围，老师的引导也让我有信心尝试更复杂的内容。

现在我甚至在家里专门布置了一个“水彩角”，经常画一些贺卡送给亲人和朋友，分享这份属于我的小小快乐。

—— 匿名学员

🎨 Student Showcase 4:

I love painting and usually follow short online tutorials after work. But there are always moments when I get stuck — especially with perspective and composition. I’m really glad I found a lightly-guided session like this. It allows me to keep my own pace while having a real teacher around to answer all the tricky questions that online classes just can't solve.

我喜欢画画，通常在下班后在各种网站上找一些短的教程自学。但是经常还是有有一些困惑的点，尤其在场景透视和用水彩画光。我很开心找到了一个轻度教学的课堂，我可以保持自己学习时间和节奏的同时，找到一个面对面的老师解答所有网课没法解决的疑难点。

🎨 Student Showcase 5:

I wanted to find a hobby I could stick with long-term, and learning in a real artist studio turned out to be much easier to maintain than trying to do it alone at home. I've been improving quickly, not only learning new skills, but also bringing home a new painting each week to brighten up my space. There are lots of watercolour books here, and I really enjoy imitating them.

What makes me even happier is that this workshop has helped me meet some lovely new friends. We gather every week to paint together, and sometimes order something delicious to share. The painting atmosphere here is just wonderful.

我想在周末找到一个能长期坚持的兴趣爱好，换一个环境学习，比一个人在家更容易持续下去。在这里我进步得很快，不仅学到了新的知识和技巧，每周还能带回一幅新的作品装点我的房间。这里有很多水彩书，我很喜欢临摹它们。

更让我开心的是，这个工作坊让我认识了一些新朋友。我们每周聚在一起画画，和点一些好吃的。这里的氛围非常棒。
