Online painting lesson with chocolate tasting

Have you ever seen colors when you taste something? What aromas does the color “red” represent? Let your senses speak and your creativity flow as you embark on a unique journey that combines the world of aromas with the colors of art. The “Taste with Colours” workshop offers a creative opportunity to experience chocolate and unleash your senses in a completely new way.

Dive into a multi-sensory journey that combines the world of chocolate tasting with the creativity of color painting. At the “Taste with Colours” workshop, you'll discover the amazing connections between taste and color as you challenge your senses and develop your artistic side. Be inspired by aromas to bring your individual chocolate flavor palettes onto canvas.

We offer the workshop in the following formats:

• online or hybrid: You will receive a package with all materials and chocolates to your home or office. The workshop will be held live online.
• offline: We'll come to your office and you'll enjoy a creative “Taste with Colours” workshop with us on site.

By the way, no previous experience is required! As Picasso once said: “As a child, everyone is an artist. The difficulty lies in remaining one as an adult.” Anyone can express their creativity without having to master the painting technique, for example.

Rough process

1. Introduction to sensory technology: Learn how our senses are influenced by taste and color and how they interact with each other. Discover the fascinating connections between aromas and shades.

2nd chocolate tasting: Let yourself be pampered by a selection of exquisite original chocolates and dive into the diverse flavor profiles. Explore nuances from fruity-sweet to earthy and tart and identify which colors appeal to your taste buds.

3. Color painting: After each chocolate tasting, you choose the colors that best match the perceived aromas. Let your impressions be created on paper and create a visual interpretation of your taste experiences.

4. Creative exchange: Share your paintings and taste experiences with other participants. Discover how individual interpretations can be and how colors influence our perception.

5. Reflection: Conclude the workshop with a discussion in which you share your insights about how colors have deepened your chocolate experiences.
