About this experience
In this 2-hour workshop, you’ll explore the magic of creating with natural earth pigments, extracted from local minerals and soils. Discover a wide range of unique, organic colors while learning how to work with these beautiful, sustainable materials.
The session includes a brief introduction to natural pigments, a presentation of the tools and materials, and the choice of your design—you can create a freeform composition or be inspired by floral motifs with the help of templates. You’ll also learn techniques to add texture and dimension, giving your artwork a three-dimensional effect.
We’ll paint on handmade 19 x 24 cm canvases crafted from veneer and pressed cardboard. All materials are locally sourced from Portugal, and no prior experience is needed—just bring your curiosity and your love for art and nature!
