Everything is so simple here. The meals are impossibly fresh and sourced from the farm on site. The rooms are uncomplicated and cozy. I wake up, eat breakfast, and make art. Eat lunch, make art. Eat dinner, make art. Sleep and repeat.
Today’s workshop was so simple yet challenging and rigorous. Our instructors brought us back to the foundations of artmaking and we practiced exercises I hadn’t done in 20 years. It was refreshing to strip everything back and start from the beginning again… to really make yourself see what’s in front of you. To find the line, the shape, and the value. To draw for the sake of drawing. To be open to possibilities and new visual languages.
Tomorrow our value studies will transform into upside-down color. I’m not exactly sure what that means but I am here for it and excited to find out!
