The workshop series include four sections: Grisaille, Layering, Blending and Sgraffito , at each section you will learn a specific technique which will help you to achieve a new level for your abstract learning process …… on every second Monday, Rolando, our friend, host and artist from Cuba is looking forward to assist you to enjoy this new creative experience. You don’t necessarily need to participate the workshops in sequence. Every workshop is an individual section.

About Today’s workshop – Layering 

Layering is a system for creating artistic paintings that involve the use of more than one coat of paint. To capture rich depth and atmosphere in paintings, it is common to use layering techniques, applying one layer over another, until the desired effect is achieved. The process of layering while painting makes it easy to add surface texture, subtle color changes, and tangible depth.

This event is limited to a maximum of 10 people per session to ensure a calm atmosphere and optimal guidance.
