Indulge in some fun online art workshops this weekend

Put on your creative hats and get ready to create your own masterpiece in these virtual art sessions

Impasto syndrome

World masters such as Vincent van Gogh and Rembrandt van Rijn have used the ‘impasto’ technique in their works. Impasto is essentially a painting technique where the paint is laid in thick layers so that it stands out on a surface. In this ‘Texture Knife Painting Workshop’, you will learn how to ace this art using a blunt knife. The materials required for the class are Camel Artist acrylic tube colours, A4 size canvas,  pencil, eraser, palette, palette knife/ butter knife, napkin and water.

Master the mandala 

If you want to try your hand at a new art form, check out the ‘Learn Mandala Art’ workshop. A mandala is an abstract design which is usually circular in form. These designs can contain both geometric and organic forms. This class will be conducted by artist Aishani Dhawan, who has been practicing and teaching mandalas since 2017. The things you have to keep handy before the session are a drawing sheet, fineliners or black gel pen, pencil and eraser, scale and protractor.

Unicorns for the young ones

Kids are just as stressed and anxious about these uncertain times as everyone else. Adjusting to online classes and staying indoors 24x7 takes a toll on them.

They will require an A4 size sheet or drawing book, oil pastels/wax crayons, pencil and eraser, and sketch pens. This workshop is open to 5+ years children and pre-registration is required.
