\n\u2013 No painting experience is required.<\/strong><\/p>\n\ud83c\udf3c For the little ones:
\nWould you like your children to spend some time drawing and painting flowers and plants?
\nThey can do it with us!
During the workshop, the young participants will be guided in creating their artworks, with care and warmth.<\/p>\n
Contact with colours and nature is a wonderful way to cultivate creativity!<\/p>\n
\ud83c\udf3c How the workshop works:

\ud83c\udf43 For adults:
\nWould you like to take some time to learn how to paint in oil on canvas, combining it with your passion for plants? We can do it together!
\nDuring the course you will be guided in making your own pictorial canvas depicting a plant subject meaningful to you!<\/p>\n
Everyone is asked to choose and bring a plant of their choice, we suggest physically bringing it to conduct painting from life, or alternatively some plants will be available in the gallery.
\nSince ancient Greece, herbaria were made to catalogue and understand different plant species.
\nStarting with early empirical and then scientific analysis, the concept of the herbarium has increasingly taken on an artistic and philosophical role.
\nPlant care is for many people also a time of caring for their emotional state, so the course aims to use an intimate part of one’s daily life to combine it with the art of painting and make a herbarium page that is meaningful to the person making it.<\/p>\n
\ud83c\udf43 How does the workshop work?
\n\u2013 An introductory theoretical section on the history of herbariums, along with selected visual examples.
\n\u2013 Guiding the eye to train observation of the subject and understand how to begin painting.
\n\u2013 Introduction to the oil-painting technique to begin using the colours freely.
\n\u2013 Development of each participant\u2019s canvas\/herbarium.<\/p>\n
\ud83c\udf43 You are welcome to bring a plant, as well as your own paints and brushes; otherwise, all necessary materials will be available for you in the gallery.<\/p>\n
