Landscape Painting Retreat 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 (1870-1953) art, exercises of his techniques & composition will be practiced and applied to our own artwork. Materials: watercolor, gouache paints, charcoal & ink Work space: Sun Studio & outdoors into the Sangre de Cristo Mountains to experience Nature through direct observation. Daily class: 9 am to 4:30 pm Lunch break: 12:30 to 2:30 Tuition: $275 includes 4 organic veggie lunches, snacks & supplies Deposit: $75 nonrefundable, to reserve a space Supplies: Bring your own brushes & a watercolor pad Accommodations: www.crestonecolorado.com www.crestoneeagle.com Camping: 5 minutes driving to Sun Studio Info: Jennifer Thomson, PO Box 894, Crestone, Colorado 81131, 719-937-7694 Sunstudio.thomson1@gmail.com www.jenniferthomson.net Join us in Crestone, Colorado…..August 21-25 noon |
August Art Retreat 12to16, 2016
Metamorphosis Darkness & Dawn Peach blossom, Rosa, 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 aspire creativity 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. Evening Presentations: Canadian artists, Emily Carr & Lawren Harris Artistic presentation: Ammi & Jennifer Health through Anthroposophy by Philip Incao -------------------------------------------- Material: watercolor, gouache, ink and charcoal Location: Sun Studio in Crestone, Colorado Tuition: $355 includes supplies, plus 5 organic veggie lunches & snacks Deposit: $75, nonrefundable, to reserve a space Accommodation: B&B, Hotel, Camping www.crestonecolorado.com www.crestoneeagle.com Sign up & Info: Jennifer Thomson Sun Studio PO Box 894 Crestone, Colorado 81131 719-937-7694 sunstudio.thomson1@gmail.com www.jenniferthomson.net |
