Details

Participants will explore their personal identity, brainstorm symbolic imagery, and create a detailed sketch for their self-portrait. Two-Day Workshop | Explore Identity Through Symbol & Color

Uncover the deeper layers of your identity in this expressive two-day acrylic painting workshop. Guided by the theme of meshing realism with symbolism, you’ll create a self-portrait that goes beyond physical likeness to tell a personal story through color, imagery, and metaphor.

Day 1 focuses on introspection, symbolism, and sketching your composition. Through guided journaling and creative planning exercises, you’ll discover meaningful symbols and learn how to visually weave them into your portrait.

Day 2 is dedicated to painting — using acrylics to bring your unique vision to life with texture, emotion, and vibrant color.
