The Hub’s weekly painting workshops offer Bequia youth, adults, and those visiting the island first-hand training with our Co-Founder and Seer, Colin Peters.

Painting basics covered include:
- Mixing basic colours and paint textures
- Learning brush techniques (different ways of using the brush)
- Painting basic shapes
- Fading and blending colour
- Understanding light and perspective
- Correcting common errors
- Sketching a still life
