Artistic workshops in the Aitana mountain range. August 2023. Dates to be determined, contact me if you would like to participate in a workshop in the mountains at 660827028.
Dear friends, lovers of art and curious experiences,
I'm Carmen Ibarra, a visual artist, and I'm delighted to invite you to one of my favorite places, my friend Uwe's cabin, which he's kindly offered me for a few days of artistic immersion in nature. It's an inspiring place where I've often retreated to paint for my exhibitions.
Near Benifato, in the same Guadalest valley and at the foot of the Sierra de Aitana, we will enjoy these Christmas holidays, painting watercolors.
Although we will have our dear Pepe, who cooks deliciously, the proposal is to share and since cooking is also art and we are all artists, we will all collaborate in the preparation of the delicious dishes, each one from their most imaginative proposals.
This workshop is for those who want to discover the wonderful world of watercolor painting, as well as those who want to deepen their knowledge of painting and drawing. This experience is also for animal lovers, as several dogs and cats live in the cabin.
WORKSHOP CONTENT:
- The importance of paper, different types of paper, and how to prepare it for painting according to our needs
- Colors. We will start with the three primary colors, magenta, yellow, and cyan, and learn how to mix them to create all the colors of the color spectrum. Concepts such as primary, secondary, and complementary colors, harmony, the infinite range of grays, saturation, gradients, and tones are covered in this section.
- .We will learn to observe light in order to capture it in our work, understanding that with this technique, the white is given to us by the luminosity of the paper itself.
- Chromatic perspective. If we want to paint landscapes, we will learn the chromatic concepts we must use to achieve the desired effects.
- Textures and washes. Watercolor is a technique that allows us to modify it by wetting it, which offers us a wealth of pictorial resources.
- The sensitive brushstroke. We will learn to loosen our hand to achieve an expressive brushstroke or to control it to make more delicate strokes.
- Connecting with our creativity. Facing a blank page is a meditative act in itself that helps us sharpen our concentration. Watercolor, and art in general, has the ability to bring us to the present moment and thus oxygenate our brain, leading us to connect with our own creativity.
