For centuries, natural pigments have been extracted from the earth and transformed into vibrant colours that carry the essence of the landscapes they come from. Join local artists Mara and André as they explore the land in search of these raw materials, learn traditional techniques to create your own handmade watercolours, and bring the beauty of nature to life on paper through your own unique illustrations.
Each season offers unique natural gifts, with elements such as flowers, leaves, fruits and vegetables reflecting the evolving palette of São Lourenço do Barrocal. Using these sustainable, locally sourced materials, you'll be honouring nature's cycles while learning to create watercolours with minimal environmental impact. By the end, you'll have the skills to create colour from the natural world surrounding you.
