Colorful Painting Village in Shenzhen

Dafen Oil Painting Village is a hub with tonnes of oil painting studios in the area, so make the most of your time there. I've made a definitive guide for you.📝 Time needed: 🕚 You will need about 3 hours and I will advise you to go in the morning, because they painting workshops start to close during the late afternoon. How to get there:🚶♂️ Take Metro line 3, get off at Dafen Station, get out from the Exit A, and it's within 5 minutes of walking.🚉 Food:🥗 1. There is a mall next to the village with all kinds of food, from Chinese food to famous franchises. 2. There are also many cafes. Dafen must see and do, in my opinion:🌟 1. In Dafen Oil Painting Village, there are many workshops in addition to a few tastefully equipped storefronts offering oil paintings and other creative pieces. These workshops are typically 15 square meters in size, with enormous mounds on the floor and replicas of well-known oil paintings hanging on the walls. (see my photos for reference) Even if the majority of the paintings are reproductions, they still provide vital revenue streams for local painters from impoverished backgrounds. A few miniature oil paintings make excellent mementos. Paintings that fit in a suitcase range in price from 30 to I don't know rnb🤣, depending on size and quality. You may ask for the frame to be taken down. Bring your negotiating strategies with you. 2.Visit Dafen Art Museum:🎨 There are two large galleries and eight smaller galleries on the first and second floors. Time: 8:00-18:00 Price: Free 3. Try oil painting: 🖌 Many workshops provide oil painting experiences, and the price is about 50 RNB. If you choose a bigger canvas, the price will be higher. The proprietor of the workshop will provide you a stack of example drawings, along with all the necessary supplies (canvas, brushes, paints, and palette), and instruction in drawing. Once your oil painting is complete, you can take it home as a souvenir. 4. Make your own portrait: 🖼 Perhaps you would rather have a portait painted. The painter and you can work out a price, and you can pick it up the same day or in a few days #localguides #wecreate #china
