Creative lab

Learning to paint is learning to look. Marco Noris’ Creative Lab is a space to open one’s gaze outward and inward. A place for artistic learning and experimentation for all ages. The laboratory develops perception, drawing, and color through direct practice: observation, painting techniques, sketchbook work, and exploration of the environment.

One-to-one or group classes, in person or online, focused on drawing, painting, and watercolor.

Looking, drawing, painting

Learning to paint is learning to look: Marco Noris’ Creative Lab is a space for artistic learning and experimentation to open your gaze outward and inward.

The laboratory develops perception, drawing, and color through direct practice: observation, painting techniques, outdoor work, and exploration of the environment. Sessions combine work in my studio at Piramidon with outings to draw in the city or in the landscape.

Classes adapt to each participant’s pace and needs through individualized follow-up, according to interests and experience level. The approach focuses on learning through process, fostering attention, observation, and the search for a personal pictorial language.

No previous experience required. Open to all ages.

Both beginners and participants with an established practice are supported throughout their creative process, with proposals and follow-up tailored to each person.
