Akvarell Atelier

Thank you for visiting online page of Akvarell Atelier, it is great to see you here :)

Akvarell Atelier is a watercolour studio founded by artist Kasia Wiercińska in 2023 in Oslo, Norway. We are located at Sars' gate 36 in Tøyen, right by the Botanical Garden.

The mission of the Atelier is to share the passion for watercolour and help others spread their wings in their artistic journey. We offer regular watercolour courses that are suitable for both beginners and advanced artists, private tutoring, and a weekly Thursday drop-in group. We also organise exhibitions for participants of the courses, supporters of the Atelier, and local watercolour artists.

There are no mistakes, just happy accidents.

Our vision is to keep the Atelier a safe and friendly place where artists of all levels can meet and develop their passion for art. We don't compare, don't judge, but we help each other grow and enjoy making art :) We learn new techniques and tricks, but above everything, we learn to build our confidence, trust the process, and embrace all accidents and imperfections.

About the founder & tutor

Kasia Wiercinska

Kasia Wiercinska is an artist specializing in the watercolor technique. Her passion for art bloomed in early childhood and has steadily grown over the years. Her work is characterized by the portrayal of captured memories, fleeting moods, and a deep love for colour transitions and light.

The artist pursued professional training in watercolour painting during her residency in New Zealand in years 2019 - 2020. Before that, she graduated from architectural studies, where she acquired a solid foundation in drawing, painting, and creative thinking, which became the basis for her further development.

She exhibited her artworks and gave tutoring to many art enthusiasts around the world, including Norway, New Zealand, Italy, Poland, England, USA, France, the Netherlands and Vietnam.

Currently residing in Oslo, Norway, Kasia Wiercinska continues her artistic journey and actively contributes to the local artistic community. She is widely appreciated as a watercolour instructor, conducting workshops for both beginners and advanced artists. She is also a leader of Norway for international watercolour festival “Fabriano in Acquarello” in Italy, one of the admins of Urban Sketchers Oslo, and a founder of Akvarell Atelier - centre for watercolour art in Oslo.

The artist frequently draws inspiration from the surrounding landscapes, with a focus on capturing the atmosphere and mood, encapsulating ephemeral moments, memories, and dreams. Each artwork carries a unique story, memory, or dream. According to the artist, a painting is meant to represent the world that we remember or desire to remember, reflecting what we felt, heard, or experienced in a particular place and time.
