Watercolour painting in Hermann Hesse’s trails


Friday 15 Sunday 17 August 2025 · Collina d’Oro


The Ticino landscape is defined by the ever-present mountains that rise in layered succession, fading into the blue of the distance. They stir a sense of longing, frame the lake’s waters again and again, or draw our gaze toward a detail nearby. Shades of green, blue, and earthy grey-browns blend with flashes of yellow, ochre, and violet shadows. We will bring this rich palette to paper and contrast it with warmer tones when we discover red flowers or brightly colored shutters in the foreground.

This watercolor workshop with artist Lisa Kölbl-Thiele is open to beginners and advanced participants alike – no prior experience is needed. The joy of painting and the pleasure of spending a creative day together are at the heart of the course!


In German and Italian, 7-12 participants.
