Agnes Cecile
Watercolour Workshop
30 - 31 May + 1 June 2025
WORKSHOP
The workshop will mainly focus on the study of the expressive watercolor portrait. We will start with a monochromatic palette to understand the technique, deepening the value of composition, shadows and contrasts in the creation of a watercolor work.
This will be followed by a study of natural forms, such as plants and flowers, using a more varied palette. Experimental and expressive approaches will be explored, combining the portrait with natural and abstract elements, in a different way for each one, according to one's own subjectivity and predisposition.
Throughout the workshop, the artist will carry out practical demonstrations for each technical step.
The workshop is open to students of any level, Agnes Cecile will follow the path of each student individually, adapting to the specific needs of each.
The workshop will be in English.
MATERIALS
The watercolor paper, the watercolors and the brushes will be provided by Winsor & Newton. It is required to bring only your own material for drawing and if you have, an empty palette to mix colors more freely.
Agnes Cecile was born in Rome, Italy, in 1991. She started to draw when she was a child. When she published her earliest watercolor paintings online, she signed them as “agnes-cecile” for the first time. After attending a fine arts high school, she kept on following her vocation, experimenting with different painting techniques and discovering how to express herself through her images.
She soon became popular on social networks, which allowed her to reach a large public globally. After several solo exhibitions in Rome, she joined events, held workshops, and took collaborations in different worldwide locations in the US, Canada, and Europe. She joined Winsor&Newton as an ambassador and took the chance to improve her workshop quality. In 2018, she released her first art book, a collection of ten years of work. Following that, in 2019, she held a retrospective exhibition in her home studio in Rome, to celebrate her tenth anniversary as an artist. Since 2022, she has been leading watercolor art retreats around the world. Bringing together groups of artists, she has traveled to Spain, Morocco, and France. For the first time, she is organizing one in Italy, her home country.
