In this workshop you are going to paint! We'll see all the different tips to make a painting from scratch. To make it easier and start at a simple level we will start by working with only black and white paint. It can be any water based paint like acrylics or temperas/gouache. We will make a sort of values study but this experience will be more than that, we´ll be aware of the underlying drawing , the shapes, the space... Would you like to join?

In each class we will also be experimenting with different media: (i.e. graphite, colored pencils , pastels, charcoal, ball and fountain pens, markers, etc.)We will also be doing some painting classes for beginners soon, too! (i.e. introduction to watercolors, oils, acrylics, gouache-temperas, collage...). We have already started with watercolours!

Contact me if you have any particular interest, then, if the theme is within my knowledge, I can schedule the class - for you or your group of friends-.The classes are in English but some Spanish language can be spoken.
