EnglishVisions in The Mischtechnik Seminar
Come spend three weeks in a 14th century village, learning Old Masters' techniques from a new generation of Visionary artists. Experience communal living in Torri Superiore, an eco-village in the foot-Alps of the Italian Riviera, just two steps from Ernst Fuchs' home atelier and the Torri Superiore is a labyrinthine village of spiraling stairs and narrow passages, built from the local limestone in 1300. In this cozy and creative atmosphere, students will develop two original works: one following the classical Mischtechnik employed by Ernst Fuchs, and the other following a modern variation developed by the teachers and employed in their latest paintings.
Laurence Caruana and Maura Holden will lead the seminar together, setting up their easels and painting alongside the students…. Visionary methods and materials, practical tips and secrets of the craft - all will be demonstrated and applied hands on. You will learn how to make fine lines, apply smooth glazes, eliminate brush strokes and paint details like eyes, hair, jewels and halo's. The teachers wish to guide their students with intuition, humor and understanding, knowing that these techniques are not easy, and require much patience and skill. For more information and to register.
The Seminar will take place from July 12th - August 3rd, 2008.
