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 see anew. Sometimes we have to stretch further in
art to find a new approach to our way of working.
Mornings for example, explore a fall
exercise: Tint paper
orange in areas creating a color mood.
Bring colors: reds, yellows, and blues to wakefulness in veil painting
technique. 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)
& Emil Nolde’s(1867-1956) art, exercises of their
techniques & composition will be practiced and applied to our own artwork.
