Let’s Paint a World Together!
Workshop Bea Mandapat, Danielle Florendo
Dive into a world of colour and creativity with our vibrant basic watercolour workshop for budding Picassos ages 6-12!
In this collaborative activity, kids will learn the secrets of blending, shading, and colour mixing in painting the natural world. They will learn how to paint elements from the storybook MORE, by award-winning book creators Danielle Florendo and Bea Mandapat.
Kids will work together to make a team painting. Roll up your sleeves, grab a paint brush, and join in the fun!
