2018 Workshop

Travel as an Artist along...

Spain’s Costa Brava

April 30- May 7, 2018

    The land of the Catalan culture, 
Salvador Dali’s surreal world and 
Gaudi’s wonders make this an enriching destination for a workshop.   

  Capture whitewashed Mediterranean villages, vigorous cliffs and rhythmic flamenco moods into your own hand-created             ‘Paintbook’, 
a cherished memoir of your  adventure.

  
   “International travel requires an adaptive style of the Plein Air technique and I met that challenge during a solo trip in 2008.  Designing a feather-light system by painting in a journal, I was able to navigate an ever-changing imagery that unfolded each day.                 It evolved into a resourceful approach with creative techniques that I entitled ‘Paintbooks’.  More than a thumbnail sketch tool, they are actual works of art, where the pages come alive with insights for larger formats.”


  Since 1984, Cherry has explored internationally and led workshops from an artist’s point of view.  She will share these innovations with a variety of water-based paints, origami, calligraphy, nature imprinting, color harmony and cohesive design plans. Tuition includes daily demos, personal guidance, pre-workshop instruction, some unique art supplies and a blank paintbook to fill up with artistic treasures from Costa Brava..
