2016 Art Retreat, August 12 to 16, Crestone, Colorado



 


 Art Retreat
August 12to16, 2016
Metamorphosis
Darkness & Dawn
Peach blossom, Rose, and Green give luminosity, as ethereal world presents itself to balance the earthiness of Blacks and Browns.  We will explore lightness and weight through color and the art of painting.  The moving colors awaken our own inner movement and we begin to perceive a motif that condenses from the flowing color.   
Taking the theme of Persephone ( a Greek myth), we will strive to awaken the motif artistically.  Mornings are devoted to this ongoing exercise of watercolor veil painting.  Afternoons, a variety of artistic exercises devoted to compositional work inspired from Emily Carr and Lawren Harris’s art.  One outing will be sketching & painting in the National Forest.  We will practice techniques from the ‘Group of 7’ to apply in our own work.

Canadian artists, Emily Carr & Lawren Harris Artistic presentation: Ammi & Jennifer

Renew yourself and your life path in contemplation and color in nature’s beauty in the 8000ft. Alpine Valley of Crestone.

The main importance is silence..listening to nature while you work.  Quieting your thoughts and being present.  There is an inner peace that finds its way into the soul and an inspiration that carries you to the next piece of art and the next..........jt
