🎨 Acrylic Workshop with Ladan: Exploring Light & Shadow through Complementary Colors
Level: Beginner to Intermediate
Materials: Please bring your own canvas; all other materials will be provided.

Join visual artist Ladan for a hands-on acrylic painting workshop focused on still life composition and the power of complementary color. With a BA in Fine Arts from the Art University of Tehran, and as co-founder of a vibrant Art House in British Columbia, Ladan brings a deep passion for creative teaching and years of experience in figurative art.

In this session, participants will explore light and shadow using just two complementary colors—a focused technique designed to strengthen your understanding of value, form, and depth. These foundational skills are essential for developing more complex works such as landscapes and portraits.

Ladan’s approach blends observational techniques with an intuitive understanding of color, helping you see and interpret your subject in new ways. Whether you’re just beginning your painting journey or looking to refine your skills, this workshop offers a supportive and inspiring space to grow your artistic practice.
