Workshops

Color Infused Abstract paintings with Oil and Cold Wax

Life. Travel. Art. Color.

In this workshop we will gather ideas and inspiration from our surroundings in France to inspire out own personal painting practice in oil, cold wax and dry mineral pigments. Students will be introduced to Ginnie’s highly layered and textured painting techniques as well as her secrets of making color choices intuitively that sing with happiness.

This class will take you deeper than just ‘techniques’. We will spend a lot of time relaxing and enjoying the French countryside because Ginnie knows how important it is to play (enjoy and absorb) the surroundings in which you work. Ginnie will work with each student personally to help them get clarity on their art and how to set and act on their own personal, creative goals. We will discuss how our art practice can be integrated into our daily lives to heal, nourish and restore our souls.

These ten days will be used for soul-centering activities and relaxation time as well as an introduction into abstract/landscape painting and color studies through the use of oil and cold wax. Students will learn how to add layers to create interesting color fields that relate to their surroundings with a focus on texture, mark making, depth and composition by demo’s, individual attention and lively group discussions.

Ginnie truly believes in the importance of finding your own individual style and a deeper meaning behind your painting. She allows time for contemplation, journaling and yoga for her own art practice and would love to share that energy with you. Her positive, uplifting personality will be sure to spread throughout the class.
