Georgia O'Keeffe's artistic brilliance is evident in her mastery of the fundamental elements of art: line, colour, and composition. To truly grasp the depth of O'Keeffe's artistic genius, one must delve into her meticulous drawing techniques, bold colour choices, and innovative approach to composition showcased throughout her extensive body of work. Renowned for her vibrant and dynamic use of colour, O'Keeffe's paintings exude a radiant energy and vitality that captivates viewers.

What sets her apart is her innate ability to strike a perfect balance in her compositions, constantly pushing boundaries while maintaining a sense of harmony and visual appeal. O'Keeffe's versatility in working with various mediums results in artworks that appear deceptively simple yet are incredibly complex and thought-provoking.

We are pleased to announce two unique opportunities to delve into the world of the artist Georgia O'Keeffe. The first part of our offering includes a historical presentation and hands-on workshop, where participants will draw inspiration from still life and create a landscape watercolour. In the second part, attendees will have the chance to create from an acrylic painting inspired by O'Keeffe's renowned artwork "Abstraction Blue 1927”.

You are welcome to join us for one or both workshops.

Part one of the workshop will provide a deeper insight into the life and work of the artist. By attending both parts, participants will gain a comprehensive understanding of O'Keeffe's artistic legacy.
