In a statement to SANA reporter, Sarem indicated that this workshop has its own peculiarity, as it is the first specialized in watercolor technology, which needs accuracy and experience, after it was limited to acrylic and oil, so it was keen to target the largest number of students of the center.

The plastic artist Adawiya Diop, one of the supervising professors, described this workshop as quality at the Syrian level because the watercolor technique is characterized by sensitivity, difficulty, and high transparency, and it requires a great effort from the artist to create his own signature and style.
