Full day intuitive painting retreat (workshop A):
Discover inner images through a playful usage of various materials charcoal, paint, collagework. We start the morning off with dynamic charcoal exercises. After we will continue to draw and paint with both you left and right hand (on large format paper). Through various drawing and painting exercises you can efforlessly play and allow for the continual discovery of building up and emergence of your unique images. Guidance on painting a background and then transforming the painting in ever changing layers in your painting are a highlight of the day as you discover connection with the colors and shapes. Figurative or abstract images are played with and celebrated. This Sunday retreat is also a great introduction for one or more of the longer term courses offered at Atelier Werkplaats Molenpad in Amsterdam.

Summer Camp Creation Day designed for Adults (workshop B)
We will combine mixed materials, some things from our urban environment in collage mode with some traditional art supplies. Our energy will be in creation mode on this day. Some creations will be solo and others will be in collaboration. This is not a drawing or painting technique workshop.
This is the opportunity to get out of seemingly set patterns and see our urban environment with a renewed set of eyes. New concepts of inspiration for us will come up to the surface. You see, we. . .and our surroundings are continually shifting as are our personal interests. On this day we will be combining the urban outdoor with inspirational indoor space to create with unusual materials. This is an active, fascinating day, were we will leave techniques behind. This is the environment to unleash a vision!

Workshop Model Painting (workshop C)
Sketching and drawing the model in slow-motion and after static poses painting with free choice of figuration or abstraction. Left and right handed drawing along with body movement will be combined. This workshop is meant to serve as an integration of expression through our inner images with the observation of external stimuli from nature, by drawing and painting the model. Through this viewpoint to model drawing and painting, replication type of drawing is avoided. Through painting the human figure you develop the feeling and insight into color, light and dark, form, volume, movements, rhythm and composition. You continually have the choice to paint the whole figure or just the torso, large bust or small bust (includes head).This Sunday orientation workshop is a great introduction for one longer courses offered at Atelier Werkplaats Molenpad in Amsterdam.
Each workshop has space for ten people. If you would like to register for a workshop, you can do this by mail:info@daniellarubinovitz.com or by phone at 06 10915544.
