Join us for an inspiring mixed-media workshop where flowing watercolour and richly textured oil pastels come together to create a vibrant artwork inspired by traditional decorative motifs from around the world. Working with colour, pattern, and intuitive mark-making, you’ll create your own contemporary interpretation of an ethnic carpet - a symbolic composition celebrating culture, nature, harmony, and personal expression. Birds, animals, floral motifs, geometric patterns, and radiant sun become part of a richly layered visual language that is uniquely your own.
During this workshop, you will explore:
  • Creative warm-up exercises that encourage confidence and free expression
  • The fundamentals of colour theory and harmonious colour combinations
  • The emotional language and psychology of colour
  • Pattern-making and the development of decorative compositions inspired by ethnic art traditions
  • A unique mixed-media technique combining watercolour with oil pastels to achieve luminous colour and expressive texture
Places are limited.

Hello!
I am Oxana Arefin, based in Brisbane. I have worked as a visual artist and psychologist for about 30 years.
Ancient alchemists always tried to turn basic metals into gold and silver. In our life, we can also find “gold” deep meanings through simple actions but with much more success and pleasure. Any process - drawing, singing, movement and even choosing clothes can be a process of learning and changing yourself. It is always an experiment and an exciting journey to your own integrity.
I invite everyone to an exciting journey to new discoveries of yourself!
