Color, Yoga and Painting Workshop - in Cascais, Portugal

Katherine is an Anglo-Portuguese fine artist living in Cascais, a coastal resort town in Portugal, just west of Lisbon. She is a graduate of Goldsmiths University of London and Central Saint Martins. Her artwork focuses primarily on the natural world and the human condition. Working mainly with watercolors, acrylic and photography, she draws upon a contemporary and rich visual language that seeks to investigate themes through the exploration of color.

In her "Color, Yoga and Painting Workshop", Katherine starts with a 30 minutes Vinyasa Flow Yoga session, tailored to your previous experience. This physical activity helps you prepare your body and mind for the painting session. Katherine is a qualified yoga instructor, a graduate of The Power Yoga Company, London.

In the second part of the workshop, Katherine gives you a 30 minutes color theory session, where she teaches you how to create abstract paintings by expressing emotions through color with the use of paint. You can choose between watercolor and acryclics as medium. You learn important color theory principles that can be applied during the session:
Theory relating to the color wheel/hue, color interactions and color relativity, value, saturation, contrast, complementary and analogous colors.

During the third part of the workshop, the practical painting part of around 105 minutes, you learn about the basic principles of working with either acrylic or watercolor paint, color mixing and selecting colors for your composition. You use your hands and squeegees to create your artworks, without using paintbrushes. At the end of the workshop you go home with three entire abstract paintings.
