We’re thrilled to offer you a rare chance to learn from the Master himself.
Eben Beukes will be presenting two special charcoal workshops during the Melkbosstrand Art/Film Festival week. For the very first time, he’s also running a full-day masterclass—an incredible opportunity that doesn’t come around often. Places are extremely limited, so bookings are essential.
Eben Beukes is a renowned South African artist, celebrated both at home and internationally. His extraordinary hyper-realistic charcoal drawings turn everyday human moments into powerful stories of light, emotion, and life.
