Without thinking or judging, you'll cut out from a pile of magazines and scrap paper images, textures and colours that excite or intrigue you. Gluing together bit by bit you'll give life to an unknown puzzle. What this new image tells you about yourself? You can notice something that provides clues about who we really are. There is a deeper self within all of us always waiting to be discovered and let us see insights and desires.

Bold & Colourful
Sat, 14 April 2018
Mercato Metropolitano, London
3pm - 5pm
40£
A two-hour workshop that delivers a bright and playful introduction to watercolours. The emphasis will be on experimentation, using classic techniques alongside unusual painting tools.
Artist Stefania Boiano, who is known for her free and loose approach to landscape painting, will show you the basic techniques of watercolour before setting your creative juices free.
Over the course of the workshop, Stefi will teach you the skills and show you the materials that will open the way to having fun with this uncontrollable medium. You'll see how to create loose textures and pretty patterns, and appreciate "happy accidents," those moments when a painting seems to paint itself.
This is your chance to play with colour, let your imagination run free and explore your creative side with paint.
All materials will be provided

A workshop to let go and meet your creative self. With music in the background I'll guide you to reconnect with your deepest creativity. You'll reactivate the right side of your brain, feel and draw your emotions. This kind of workshop is apparently easy but emotionally can be very strong.
It is very helpful in 2 ways:
1) if you are going through a difficult period of your life, this approach to art is a healing practice. It will help you to release tensions and negative thoughts.
2) if you are in need of new creative ideas, it will help you to dig deep in your creative soul and visualise new paths.
