Programme:
12:00–15:00 Landscape painting workshop Crazy, Free and Beautiful
The Barcelona artist Joaquim Mir loved light and colour above all else, and drew his creative inspiration from the landscapes of Spain’s special places, especially the colourful and, at the time, wild nature of the island of Mallorca. During the exhibition’s finissage, all visitors will be able to create their own imaginative bright landscapes using a different medium than the paintbrush.
Painters of all ages are welcome, from art enthusiasts to those with no previous experience.
The workshop will take place in the Castle School on the ground floor of the museum.
