In this 3-day workshop, we will be exploring the fine details of the giant world of plants. You will have the opportunity to work on different types of subject matter and focus on their fine details — how to capture colour and texture accurately to create life-like paintings. During the workshop with Işık, you will discover her style of bringing the subject to life through careful manipulation of paint and brushwork.
