Join Elad for a powerful portrait experience that explores contrast, emotion, and creative freedom. Using Smart Trace technology, you’ll learn how to apply outlines on a dark surface and build depth through layers of black, white, and gray. Discover how simple brushstrokes and mindful layering can bring your portrait to life- whether you want to capture realism, experiment with light, or simply enjoy the meditative flow of painting. Perfect for all levels, this experience celebrates the beauty of imperfection and the magic of transformation through paint.
