Under the guidance of local artist Sima Alikhani, you will explore mindful drawing techniques and create colorful artworks to take home and proudly display. This workshop encourages creativity and artistic expression in a relaxed, family-friendly environment.
In July, the focus will be on painting your favourite landscapes, including natural scenes such as mountains, forests, cliffs, trees, rivers, and valleys. August's session will introduce you to the art of drawing and colouring mandalas, symbols of universal connection, complexity, and growth.
