Watercolor Workshop - "The intuitive qualities of water" Niagara Falls

American Contemporary plein air painter
.

"The intuitive qualities of water". This is a series I am doing. The medium of watercolor, because it utilizes the vehicle of water, allows you to free up limitations, inhibitions and become more intuitive, as you allow your most 'authentic creative self' to flow from your heart space through your brush by the amazing qualities of 'water'.

Plain everyday water can be 'a life force' , 'a creative force' and a 'change force' for your inward and outer reality. The fluid characteristics of water, allow for delightfully uncontrolled, genuine responses.

Who can benefit from "The intuitive qualities of watercolor" workshop ?...
 non artists
watercolor artists
oil painters and
those who work in other mediums...

I worked in watercolor for 25 years exclusively, to loosen up my painting style, after formal training as a child from the age of ten.
Professionally, I continue to use watercolors for the very personal response it brings into my work. Contact me for more info and future dates at my studio for this workshop series. www.permissiongranted.org #niagarawatercolorpaintingworkshop #niagarafallspaintings #jrbaldiniartist

Art Workshops Maine, Niagara Falls and Niagara on the Lake

American Contemporary plein air painter.

Every art workshop has something to offer. If you're beginner, you can find classes in local art and community centers. About 25 years ago, I taught some of these at an art center and the YWCA. When the art budgets in New York State began to be cut back, students continued with me at my private studio. I now do workshops in great locations like Niagara Falls, Florida, and a tiny island in Maine.

The only way to stick with a New Year's resolution is

American Contemporary plein air painter. Remember, the resolutions that you made for 2014 ?
Remember trying to hold on to them ? 

Don't be ordinary - resolutions are what the ordinary people do for New Year.  
 Don't set yourself up to fail. 

The feeling of 'why can't I stick with it - is what inevitably sticks with you instead.

So... what can you do ?
Find something that changes your thinking, just ONE thing' and you take that first step towards a changed 2015. 
No resolutions, no promises, no bargains with God or the Devil ...we're not meant to be clean slates. Our lives are about memories - if you feel lost, turn around and reflect - if you feel happy, truly savor the moment and smile with gratitude. It's about just you and no one knows you or what motivates you better than you do.                            

Can you feel the possibilities that just crossed over from 2014 ?

'Through the Eyes of Your Heart' Art Experience
#NIAGARA_ARTWORKSHOP
Sunday June 22, 2014 10AM-3PM

Internationally renowned Plein Air artist Jacq Baldini takes you on an inward journey to connect with nature at the heart and soul level. This creativity and visualization experience is for artists, nature lovers, and artist-want-to-be's

Plein Air means 'painting on site in the open air'. Jacq has elevated plein air into the art of seeing your environment through how it makes you FEEL. You don't have to be an artist to paint from the soul or to visually express what you feel. You just have to answer your own deep desire to see and feel your world through new eyes.

Our beautiful Enlightened Feelings gardens and property is the ideal place to feel your heart and soul in a profound new way. This workshop is a spectacular way to truly become one with nature and see it through new eyes. Jacq will help you access your inner creative self in a picturesque setting bursting with the vibrant energies of colour, scent and sound. Feel, sense, hear, inhale. You'll be at one with magical garden divas and tree spirits, uplifting songbirds, healing flowers and herbs, a peaceful meandering brook, and graceful towering willow trees.

$80 Includes HST, materials and instruction. Jacqui will supply 1 canvas, paint, and use of brushes. Enlightened Feelings will provide flower essence samples to help you be One With Nature. Feel free to bring your own art supplies. Bring a chair and an easel (or something to prop your canvas at an angle such as a loose leaf binder or wooden board), as well as something to cover your clothing from paint, and a bag lunch or snacks.

About your workshop leader: J.R. Baldini is the Executive Director of International Plein Air Painters and author of the forthcoming book: "Permission Granted – learning to breathe on Planet Earth." J.R. paints and teaches not only in Canada and the USA, but internationally.

Reserve your space today! $40 deposit required. Balance due on day of workshop. We do accept credit cards and e-bank transfers.
