KOTA KINABALU: Following the success of the earlier exhibition by the first group of the new comers in the painting workshop activity, another set of works are now being showcased for a month at Wisma Budaya Art Gallery beginning this week.

About 30 pieces of new works on various subjects and mostly in water colour will be displayed.
The paintings are the product of five month painting workshops conducted at the Sabah Art Gallery compound by Puan Mastini Asap, the gallery’s art workshop tutor.
Normally about 10 to 20 participants turned up for the weekend workshop session involving young and old art enthusiasts.

The art workshop is free of charge and all the participants need to do is to bring along their own art materials.

Most of the participants who continue to produce and improve their works in this weekly workshop are rewarded with special display of their works in this one month exhibition at the gallery, which they are also given special certificates of participation.

Among the participants whose works are being displayed in the exhibition this time are Asiah bt. Aliszaman, Haleza bte Kimin, Norlizah Abdullah, Alles Arnista Anthony Marvus Loginin, Mohd Wildan Kamijin, Mohd Rayan Kamijan, Mohd. Halim Moksin, Razie Afiedan Hamadan, Vanessa Marion John, Emmawati Azaini Aquir, Sulizah Kimin, Sitti Asgal, Charlie Melkior, Azizha Lidan and Umar Wira bin Rajap.

Those interested are welcome to view the exhibition and perhaps to participate in the weekend painting workshops at the gallery.
