Come to the main entrance and talk to our art educator. Borrow an easel and paints and off you go to paint out in the open. You can find inspiration in the Moderna Museet collection or in our temporary exhibitions. Perhaps you want to paint a portrait or something from your own imagination? Choose whatever feels exciting!
Easel painting is fun and also gives you opportunities to explore paints that drip. And step back and look at your painting from a distance while you work. This gives you a new perspective on your picture. We prime our sheet of paper and then sketch on it with paint. Then, it’s time to explore the universe of colour to your heart’s content. When the painting is done, you can take a photo of it and tag it with #verkstanmodernamuseet to take part in our summer exhibition on Instagram.
Welcome!
