After using the drawings to analyse the participants’ personalities, Gemma Riba gave a short introduction to the world of painting in which she expanded on art, beauty and the fundamental elements of a painting (rhythm, harmony, balance, focal point, etc.).

To wrap up the first meeting, the teacher gave each member some leaves. They had to choose a section of the leaf to shade with pencil by using a fine line for the lighter areas. She then assessed each one and asked them to colour the leaves using different shades of green for the next meeting.
