OH MY GOUACHE!

A gouache workshop on harnessing the power of pareidolia.

Pareidolia is the psyche’s natural tendency to see shapes or make pictures out of randomness, such as when one sees images in clouds. In this workshop you will learn how to harness that tendency and use it to paint an intuitive landscape, with guidance from Kurt.

* Where: Motto Cafe, Postmaster's Village, Port Alfred.
* Date and Time: 10 October, 12pm to 2pm.
* Workshop Cost: R250 (does not include food or drinks). ALL MATERIALS PROVIDED.
* No previous experience necessary. Beginners to advanced welcome.
* The workshop is approximately two hours long, including breaks for drying times and a light lunch for those who would like to order one.
* Please BOOK IN ADVANCE to reserve your place and so that we know how many people to cater for.
* Contact Kurt on WhatsApp: 061 068 7277
