Join us for a beautiful evening with renowned thangka painter Carmen Mensink from The Netherlands! 

This evening offers a great introduction to Thangka Painting, the traditional Tibetan Buddhist scroll paintings. The evening will begin with a lecture where you'll learn about its tradition, how it came into existence, and the special place it holds within the Tibetan buddhist philosophy. After that you'll get to experience it hands-on by learning how to draw the face of the Buddha according to this ancient tradition. 

Drawing the face of the Buddha the way it has been done for centuries is a meditative experience. If you're a buddhist practitioner, drawing a Buddha is also a great help for your visualization meditation. The symbolism found within the Buddha Face will also be explained. 

This evening is suitable for everyone, including beginners with no drawing experience whatsoever; Carmen will guide you individually. The use of all materials is included!
