Step into the radiant world of Gustav Klimt and create your own portrait inspired by his iconic golden style.
In this guided session, you’ll turn a printed photo of yourself or someone else into a shimmering Klimt-like painting — fusing portraiture with pattern, emotion, and metallic gold accents.
Using acrylic paint, transfer paper, and gold paint, you’ll explore Klimt’s approach to ornamentation, symbolism, and colour harmony. This experience invites you to express individuality through light, pattern, and artistic play.
No drawing experience is required — this workshop is open to all levels and designed to be creative, relaxing, and inspiring.

Guidance on decorative pattern-making inspired by Klimt’s motifs
Exploration of colour, texture, and rhythm using acrylic paint
