Unleash your creativity and bring your favourite animal to life at Art Studio Workshop: Textured Animal Tales. Facilitated by artist Geraldine Gustavino, this hands-on mixed media workshop for young people aged 10 to 18 years will explore a range of artistic techniques while creating a vibrant animal portrait on canvas.

Young artists will begin by designing an expressive background using acrylic paints, texture and creative mark-making techniques. Once their colourful canvas is complete, they will learn how to transfer an animal image onto the surface and gradually build their artwork using layers of colour, texture and detail. Throughout the workshop, participants will develop their artistic skills while experimenting with mixed media techniques in a fun and supportive environment. The final stage focuses on bringing the animal to life through expressive brushwork, highlights, shadows and detailed features, creating a unique artwork full of personality and character.

Suitable for beginners and aspiring artists of all skill levels, Art Studio Workshop: Textured Animal Tales is a fantastic opportunity for young people to learn from a professional artist, explore their creativity, develop new artistic techniques and create a masterpiece to take home.
