Workshop
Description
An artist-led painting experience combining colour, composition, texture and metallic leaf. Each session is tailored to the occasion and can take different forms: we can develop a bespoke motif around a client’s theme or occasion, create one collaborative artwork from individually painted elements, or guide participants through a freer, technique-based process that leaves room for personal expression.
Lotte Hauss and Marc T. Süß introduce the group to selected artistic techniques, references from art history and visual principles before accompanying participants through the making process. No previous experience is required. The emphasis is on experiencing the creative flow, individual guidance and creating work with a genuinely considered visual quality.
Possible formats:
Bespoke motif · Collaborative artwork · Free individual works
Painting · Texture · Composition · Gold and metallic leaf
For teams, private groups, retreats and special occasions
Benefits
The Benefits
- Creative confidence: Participants experience that they can create an accomplished artwork even without previous painting experience.
- Individual expression: A clear artistic framework provides guidance while still allowing personal decisions in colour, composition and execution.
- Shared experience: Painting alongside one another creates conversation and connection in a setting that is very different from everyday working environments.
- Focus and creative flow: Working physically with paint, canvas and materials creates a period of concentrated, hands-on activity away from screens and daily routines.
- A tangible result: The session produces real artworks rather than a temporary exercise — either individual canvases or one collaborative piece.
- Team cohesion: Collaborative formats make individual contributions visible while showing how separate elements can become part of a coherent whole.
- Accessible contemporary art practice: Participants gain practical insight into colour, composition, acrylic painting and the use of metallic leaf through direct experience.

Together with creative director, artist and lecturer Marc T. Süß, she develops and hosts carefully curated art experiences for teams, private groups and special occasions.

Their sessions are welcoming, visually sophisticated and designed to create space for creativity, conversation and shared experience.
