Top Norway Painting Classes

We had a super nice afternoon at Joanne. We started by explaining different techniques with watercolor and then made a painting based on sample photos. This was our first time and thanks to the good guidance of Joanna that went much better than expected. The studio is cozy, the guidance good and Joanna provided us with tips for outings in Bergen. Highly recommended!

Very nice time spent at JM atelier, the beginning of the course is spend on doing some exercises to learn how the paint works / reacts. Very good for beginners.

The perfect way to spend an afternoon! Joanna is a fun, patient, and outgoing artist who brings energy and charisma to the class. She is a great teacher, offering suggestions and guidance as needed/wanted, while letting the participants play and experiment. Her space is beautiful and clean. Cannot recommend this enough.

If you can I highly recommend attending one of Joan's classes (workshops). Very relaxed atmosphere with a professional 'instructor' and lots of expertise and knowledge. I absolutely loved it.

A wonderful activity to do in Bergen! The workshop is very nice, Joan welcomed us with great DE kindness. We did not see the time pass!

Joanna is a natural teacher & she has created a beautiful, tranquil studio full of inspiration. Thank you Joanna

We had a fantastic experience. So encouraging of beginning watercolor painters. My 13 year old granddaughter chose this event and said it was the best thing we did on our 10 day trip to Norway.

I enjoyed this so much. Joan was a wonderful teacher, so kind and encouraging. I learned a lot and feel inspired to paint when I return home. I highly recommend it!

Joanne is a very talented artist and teacher! Her studio is bright and clean and full of beautiful watercolors and prints. In addition to myself there were three others all from one family who came from Germany. Joanne helped us create a strong foundation of techniques and then encouraged us to express ourselves.We were each at different skill levels and Joanne approached each with enthusiasm and encouragement.A truly lovely and memorable experience!!

JM Atelier is owned by Joanna in her cozy atelier in the middle of Bergen. I coincidently walked by her atelier some day and fell in love with her exhibition! Joanna is a very talented artist with a fantastic warm and joyous personality, and I found out that she also offers water colour workshops in her atelier, which I chose to join, and I absolutely loved every minute of it! Joanna offers everything you need to paint a good water colour painting, and it’s clearly that she’s an experienced artist. The atmosphere in the atelier is amazing too, so cozy with quiet music in the back ground and tea on the table. I both learned a lot technically about water colouring and had a great time! can’t wait to come back!

Joanna was an absolute joy, and such a wonderful instructor. I would absolutely recommend this activity when visiting Bergen. You truly could not ask for a more friendly and welcoming hostess, and the studio has such a fun atmosphere. Thank you Joanna for everything, we had a great time. This class was one of the best moments of our trip!:) - Katie, Molly and Kelsi(This class is beginner friendly, and English friendly)

Joanna was very welcoming and kind, I have always enjoyed painting but alas I'm not very good, Joanna was very patient and helped me along the way. I would definitely recommend this experience to anyone. And if you like white wine all the better !Wade Bulmer

Joanna was super amazing even before the class, my flight was delayed meaning I was going to miss my booking. Joanna allowed me to reschedule so I could still attend. The session itself was so much fun. Joanna is such a friendly and vibrant person, she makes you feel so welcome. We did some practise techniques before moving on to our main piece. Joanna explains equipment and techniques in an easy to understand way and you soon feel comfortable to unleash your inner artist. I could have stayed all day! If I had been in Bergen longer I would have come back for another session!

A really amazing experience, we learn so much and we had so much fun , really recommend and we made so painted beautiful picture
