Watercolor and drawing week

Full concentration on "drawing and painting" - it's wonderful how you forget the world and become completely absorbed in your hobby. Whether beginner or advanced, everyone is wonderfully introduced, guided and led by Claudia Mann. We are already looking forward to the exhibition of all the paintings - it's wonderful to see the progress and the results!
Painting takes place in the "Gretlgwölb" in the castle, but also outdoors - there are plenty of motifs worth painting around the Pichlschloss. Or, you can bring photographs of landscapes as models - we are open to anything. We work from our own sketches and self-made photographs.
Claudia Mann: The painter Claudia Mann studied painting and art history in Munich and Florence. She lived in Essen for around 20 years, and even then she combined her painting in projects with musicians, dancers and actors from the Aalto Theater there. She has been back in Bavaria for several years and now lives in Riederau.
The paintings in her Moving Man series make me think of the pop artist Keith Haring. Even though the painting technique is completely different, the impression is the same: human figures in motion, leaping, jumping, dancing and radiating an intense joie de vivre.

The Pichlschloss is situated in a sunny and idyllic location at 876m above sea level in the Zirbitzkogel-Grebenzen Nature Park in Styria. For three generations we have been offering our guests a vacation in lively peace and tranquility, close to nature and relaxing. An ideal place, surrounded by greenery, directly on the hiking trail network and only a 15-minute walk from the village.
Fantastic cuisine with many regional, organic and seasonal foods
Forest bathing right on the doorstep.
The Pichlschloss is located in the Styrian district of Murau, one of the most densely wooded areas in Austria.

At the Pichlschloss we cook and live according to slow-food principles. We produce our own jam, jarred delicacies, cheese, sausages and spreads. Beef, pork and fish come as far as possible from the farm surrounding the Pichlschloss. The breakfast eggs are laid for you by our hens.
Most of the salad and herbs come from our own garden.
Every week you have the opportunity to shop at the Pichlschloss manufactory
