FAQ's
Not at all. This workshop is designed for complete beginners as well as those with some experience. You’ll be gently guided step by step, so all you need is curiosity and a willingness to relax and create.
You will paint your own watercolor oceanscape inspired by the Algarve coast. By the end of the session, you’ll have a finished, framed artwork to take home as a meaningful souvenir.
All materials are provided, including paints, paper, and tools. You’ll also receive step-by-step guidance, a relaxed creative atmosphere, and your completed framed painting to keep.
This is not a traditional art class. It’s a slow, mindful creative experience focused on relaxation, presence, and personal expression—more about enjoying the process than achieving perfection.
Location changes every month to ensure, but it is confirmed upon reservation. It is never more than 20/30 minutes away from Portimão.
Absolutely! We welcome children from 10 years old onwards. Before, it can get quite tricky and it is a long class and children have not yet developed the skill set required to be in this class!

We had a wonderful workshop with Catarina! We were 2 persons with very little experience and knowledge, and Catarina was excellent in guiding her with her knowledge to make a beautiful aquarel painting, we were so surprised with the end result!
All materials were provided and of very good quality. The setting and small group made the experience very cozy and intimate, we had a great time and will definitely participate in future workshops by Catarina. We would very much recommend her workshop wether you’re a beginner or more experienced painter.
