A Little Taste of Gouache: Kopitiam Series Workshop

In this special 2-hour session, instead of the usual longer 4-hour workshop, you’ll get the chance to try gouache in a shorter, more relaxed format and complete your own painting by the end of it. Whether you’re new to painting or simply looking for a slow, creative afternoon, this workshop invites you to unwind, experiment, and capture little foodie moments on paper.

Take a gentle step into the world of gouache in this cozy, beginner-friendly session inspired by Malaysia’s beloved kopitiam culture. We’ll be painting nostalgic kopitiam favourites like kaya toast, half-boiled eggs, warm cups of coffee, and even fluffy polo buns, while exploring the basics of gouache along the way. This session is perfect for anyone curious about the medium and looking for a gentle, no-pressure introduction.
