The art gallery hosts walking tours that culminate in a canvas activity, for those who want to try their hand at painting from a lithograph model, showing two hands drawing each other, which one tourist artist attempted using farmer’s hands of earthy labour, ending up a fat fingered caricature, defeating the experimental intention, while succeeding in not reproducing, as much as making the original visible, in a representation of what’s possible.
