Colours of Tuscany
Paint & Play with Artist Kato Wake
Before children write, they paint. Art is the basis of human expression. Indulge your senses, celebrate colour, and express the beauty of the Tuscan landscape in a style that feels right for you – abstractly or realistically. Connect with your inner child – with painting exercises, allowing time to experiment, and explore playful visual possibilities.
Art fundamentals – line, shape, color, value, and texture – will be the cornerstones to guide your compositions.
Surrounded by the golden light of Tuscany, the landscape itself becomes both muse and medicine—fueling your creativity with every hill, vine, and stone.

Kato Wake
Kato is passionate about helping students discover their creative path and has inspired hundreds of adults to paint with joy and gusto. Besides being an award winning painter, Kato is a natural teacher and makes learning FUN. Her compassionate guidance, sense of humour, and positive attitude elevates everyone's confidence.
As a former graphic designer, Kato understands composition and what makes a painting work, and paints in both realistic and abstract styles. She loves teaching colour and providing ideas to experiment and in 2021 launched an online painting course Get Creative with Kato!, based on play, personal expression and understanding art fundamentals.
When not painting, she composes piano music and leads wine, food, and culture tours in Europe with her life partner Billy Munnelly. Kato moved from Canada to Tavira, Portugal in late 2021 and loves her life!
