Painting Workshops

Plein Air Painting with Marco Paolati from Berlin
June 3. - 8. 2012 in Ananda Assisi -
Academy of Art, Creativity & Consciousness - Umbria Italy
Being in nature, moving consciously, painting, and meditating in wonderful landscapes rich with living colors will refill your body, heart and soul with energy, harmony and joy.
In this workshop you will paint with water colors in many different ways. Water is transparency and flow. You will learn to measure and frame your landscape detail, beginning with a water colored pencil drawing and free color work exercises. Connecting with the mighty source we merge in a flow of colors and you will find your own intuitive and individual style of painting.
Painting is a spiritual act and our hands can be channels for God’s beautiful creation as we combine meditation, intuition, and plein air painting. We will work in the open air around Ananda and in some holy places of St. Francis.
You will experience:
- Meditating in nature and painting in a state of higher consciousness.
- Painting in holy places like St. Francis’ “Eremo delle Carceri” in Assisi.
- Guided techniques and practices that allow you to paint landscapes and free color works.
- The power of divine light, energy flow and creative spirit.
- Color mixing, wet in wet, water colored pencil drawing, framing your landscape detail
