Together with the artist Gabrielle Reeves, we examine and revisit the landscape paintings in the exhibition! Setting off from works of miniature, the participants learn how to use drawing and watercolor techniques to create their own paintings, and employ colors to create an ambience and perspective, and to evoke various sentiments. This workshop takes us on a journey to discover basic drawing and watercolor techniques as well as color theory, mixing color, and application processes. At the end, we create paintings which provide a colorful and modern rendition of miniature art.

Three people sleeping side by side. On the uncomfortable seats of the stuffy airplane in the air. Three friends. I’m the friend in the window seat. The other two are a couple, Emre and Melisa. I’m alone, they are together. And another difference. I’ve only closed my eyes. They are asleep.
About a year ago, Ela was dead for seven minutes. Death had come to her as she was watching her younger brother play gleefully in the sandpit at the park. A sudden flash that washed her world with a burning white light, a merciless roar resembling that of a monster…
