Summer Painting Retreat

Summer Painting Retreat

Catching the Spirit: Shaping the Fleeting Moment
by exploring accident and intention
Join artist Richard Heys for these four days to step out of everyday life and into the immersive,
colourful world of the studio – painting in the beautiful surrounds of Emerson College. In this
process led workshop Richard will demonstrate and share techniques and approaches to the
dynamics of painting. In the workshop we will explore Presence in abstract painting, deepening
colour space with structure and light. We will build compositions, experience relationships and
wholeness focusing on colour moods and placement.
Paul Valery defined the artistic experience of creation as that of a ‘Statu Nascendi’, a free coming
into being, an activity leading to the revelation of something new. It is possible in this way to free
ourselves from the influence, known styles and ambitions of others, seeing clearly and hearing
more deeply our own authentic voice.
We will use the immediacy, vibrancy and sensitive versatility of acrylics to develop these
dynamics in our exciting colour conversations.
