Art Brunch: Impasto Still Life

Show & Culture

Relax on a Saturday morning with pastries, tea and coffee while exploring the expressive world of impasto still-life painting. During this friendly workshop led by artist Alvira Ferreira, you will paint from carefully arranged still-life compositions featuring seasonal fruits, flowers and ceramics — this time using oil paint and palette knives to create rich texture and depth. With guidance on colour mixing, composition and impasto techniques, you will discover how to bring still lifes to life through thick, sculptural brushstrokes. The focus is on creativity, enjoyment and expression rather than perfection — all in the warm and welcoming atmosphere of a studio.
