Landscape
Painting Retreat August 26 -29
Experience”
Nature through Art” with Jennifer Thomson
The landscape
Retreat is about change; experiencing another way of working. It isn’t a ‘how to” retreat. It is a time to explore new color exercises,
ideas and playfulness. Sometimes one has
to walk through ugliness to find anew.
Sometimes we have to stretch further in art to find a new approach to
our usual way of working.
Mornings for example, explore a fall
exercise: Tint paper orange in
areas creating a color mood. Bring
colors; reds, yellows, blues to wakefulness.
Balance colors compositionally.
Find an inward glow of light. Use
greys and black to enhance the glow.
White in gesture for trees …what next?
Afternoons,
inspired by John Marin’s (1870-1970) & Emil Nolde’s(1867-1956) art,
exercises of their techniques & composition will be practiced and applied
to our own artwork.
