Azulejo Tile

In this delightful lesson, we will celebrate the beautiful tradition of azulejo tiles from Portugal. We will begin by transferring our design and then blissfully paint in rich blue hues of cobalt and ultramarine. This classic blue and white theme became very popular in Portuguese tile making during the 16th century, and I personally LOVE this color combo!

Feel free to use any medium you like for this lesson. Don’t feel constrained by the tile design I have chosen—you can create any design that brings you joy, or even better, make several! Although this lesson is relatively simple, it is intended to be approachable and meditative. Allow yourself to enjoy the simple joy of water, paint, and color. Daydream as you create and let yourself be transported to sunny Portugal!
