Learn the basics of Balinese painting with renowned artist and teacher, I Made Moja! This is a rare, hands-on opportunity for students of all levels to explore the traditional techniques and motives used in Balinese painting with a master artist. Pak Moja will guide you through each step of the process from sketching out an idea to painting on the canvas as you create your own piece to take home.
You will learn a variety of shading techniques using Chinese ink, as well as techniques for layering with watercolors.
Sekar Jaya will supply size 1 and size 6 watercolor round brushes for students who do not already have their own. Please fill out the Google Form after registering to help us prepare!
