In this relaxed,  guided  workshop, Gonzalo will encourage you to seek a fresh perspective on your own home.

 

You will need to bring along a photo of your home (on your phone is fine). It could be a photo of a house, a farm, a corner where you like to sit or the animals that share your daily life. However, the photo doesn’t have to feature the obvious ‘good bits’; you can find the poetic element in the pile of dirty laundry, dishes on the bench, an abandoned shoe in the hallway … the intention of the workshop is to create something based on what  you personally associate with your HOME. 

You will use this inspiration as a starting point to paint a scene, finding something essential in the everyday.

 

Instead of copying the image, you’ll learn to observe, to simplify forms, follow the light and give character to the atmosphere.

This is a space to slow down, observe, and capture a fleeting moment of your surroundings in paint: a small glimmer of light in the everyday landscape. At the end of the session, you can take home a truly personal painting.

No prior experience is required; just attention, curiosity, and the willingness to look again.
