FREE | ALL AGES* | NO EXPERIENCE NEEDED
In this workshop, inspired by the theme of TEKA LANG, participants will explore the value of slowing down and taking time to reflect through painting techniques. Under the leadership and guidance from Ephraim Velasco, the group will focus on using acrylic paint and pencil crayons, learning how to control the amount of water and paint applied to create various desired effects, from rich and bold opaque layers to soft, translucent washes. During the process, specifically waiting for the paint to dry, the group will discuss and reflect on the theme of patience and mindfulness taken from TEKA LANG. With guidance, participants are invited to discover and draw back to their own stories and emotions, using color as a means of expression.
The goal is to create meaningful, yet simple pieces that reflect our individual journeys while grounding us in the present moment.
