WORKSHOP – Blurring the Sky

LANDING ON LEVEL 2

Test your artistic talents as you walk the fine line between abstraction and figuration! With Gerhard Richter’s Wolken works as inspiration, this workshop is a chance for you to create your own little corner of the sky. Try different techniques using dry pastels and various tools to experiment with the soft, blurred lines so often seen in the German artist’s work.
