What to expect

Painting & visual arts workshop in Essaouira's medina

This is an instructor-led session focused on creative practice rather than art history. Across the 2-hour guided painting workshop, you move from simple exercises to developing and completing your own concept on canvas or paper.

Features

• Learn core painting fundamentals as your instructor demonstrates brush techniques, color mixing, and different paint types, then guides you as you apply them to your own work.
• All art materials are provided for you, including paints, brushes, canvas, and paper, so you can focus fully on the creative process without bringing your own supplies.
• Define your own concept for the session and work towards a finished artwork to take home, giving you a tangible reminder of your time in Essaouira.
• The workshop takes place inside Essaouira's UNESCO-listed medina in a small group of up to 8 guests and is suitable for both beginners and experienced artists.
