Intuitive One Day Art Retreat:...
(Saturday) 9:30AM-4:30PM
In the beautiful Tennessee woods...
De-stress with purpose, tune into the Spirit within, tune into nature, tune into your own personal journey & your own creative power. Renew your spirit and open yourself to your own limitless potential. Connect with your angels and the Creator of All that Is. Join us for our Intuitive Art Journey & Retreat on the edge of a pristine spring fed creek! We have a day packed full that is sure to recharge your artistic spirit. In the morning, we will begin with sketches and notes from a meditative walk (or sit) in nature. Simple guided meditations, simple stretching movements, and relaxation techniques will be available as Jolene teaches how these help in bringing out your creativity. The nature sketches and notes from the morning will be key to bringing some ideas for your art work. The subject of your artwork may be about a message or an awareness that you receive, a goal that you set, the beauty of a thing, or it may be a spiritual portrait such as an angel.
As for media, you may choose to use only paint or you may decide to add other materials so that the work becomes a mixed media piece of art. Jolene will do short demonstrations and show examples of various methods to do your art and how to layer materials that fit with your design and your journey. You will get more comfortable in learning to layer your paintings intuitively with your own subject matter.
From color basics to texturing techniques to design principles, Jolene will guide you along with demonstration. And as always, having fun and enjoying the process is important to your creative journey.
We will end the day by celebrating your creativity!
Whether you are an artist looking for a creative recharge or a complete beginner, this one day retreat is sure to take you to a new level of creativity. Space is limited and will fill quickly, so reserve your spot today!
