Paint with flowers and let the colours flow!

Summer workshop in the courtyard of Moderna Museet

25.6 2020 – 28.6 2020

Malmö

For four days this summer our Workshop is moving outdoors! We fill our yard with flowers and plants that we will paint and paint with. With watercolor we paint how the plants look and feel. Together we create a large joint outdoor painting with real flowers and plants. We study, touch, feel and paint!

The artist Hilma af Klint was very interested in nature. In her paintings we often find motifs and symbols that we all recognize from nature – such as flowers and leaves. During the Summer Workshop we pick out the flowers from Hilma’s paintings and look at them in reality. What do they really look like? And how do they feel? Beautiful? Nice? Or a little scary?

Welcome!
