Earth Pigment Painting Immersion 10/5 & 10/12
For anyone interested in experimenting with different mediums to create art that gives voice to the natural world
IN REVERENCE OF THE SONORAN DESERT
Sunday 10/5 9am-3pm: Field Study & Introduction to materials.
In the morning, we will meet outside at a private location in the Tucson Mountains to connect with the desert through field studies in the form of plein air sketching, plant identification, and meditation. We will return to the gallery space in the afternoon and together we will explore various materials for making visual art. I will give a demo on making paint from earth pigments and you will have time to explore this process on your own. I will also introduce acrylics, watercolor, pastels, and colored pencils, guiding the group through some helpful techniques that apply to each medium. We will close by reflecting on the qualities of each material and how it feels to work with them.
Saturday 10/12 10am-4pm: Landscape painting & Reflection and connection.
We will meet in the gallery to explore art making through materials including earth pigment paint, acrylic, watercolor, pastels and colored pencil. Using the materials of your choice you will be guided to create a landscape of meaning. Individually and as a group we will take some time to be with the art and reflect on aspects of the process that felt meaningful to us. We will end the day with a group “critique” to reflect on the process and highlight the magic in each other’s work.
