Frida Meets Matisse: A Fusion of Colour, Emotion and Form
Step into a world where Frida Kahlo's emotional symbolism meets Henri Matisse's bold colour and expressive design.
In this immersive painting workshop, participants will explore the intersection of self-expression and abstraction - creating works that blend introspection, vivid colour palettes, and dynamic composition.
Learn techniques in colour harmony, pattern design, and expressive portraiture.
Perfect for painters of all levels who want to experiment with emotional storytelling through bold colour and design.
