Art Retreat

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.

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
