Monhegan Island Plein Air Painting workshop August 1-5, 2016
American Contemporary plein air painter.
Are you searching for a fun art workshop in a different type of location,but still not an ocean away ?How about only 10 miles of ocean to reach the tiny island of Monhegan in Maine ?
You know how sometimes you forget how awesome you are ? Let us help you reconnect with the 'confident you' that you've put aside to do 'the stuff that happens in life'...don't just go with the flow, live life like you do in your happiest moments. Realize, this is not just a workshop in learning or relearning to paint, it's a workshop to help you remember where you left yourself. Remembering your core of who you truly are - awesome, just the way you are. Join us in Maine for 2016 on 'the tiny island that time forgot' step off the boat and into a way of life that existed in the 1960's. It was a slower time, An era where who you were, counted. You talked to people you met on the street, you ate real food, you breathed clean air and you daydreamed and believed that anything you set your mind on could happen. Have a look at my website and see if anything I talk about resonates with you...
#womenartistsartworkshops #creativevisualizationretreat #monheganislandretreat #retreatinmaine There's still a few spaces left in this focus on creativity painting workshop.

plein air painter - Monhegan Island - the island time forgot...
American Contemporary plein air painter.
The Monhegan Island workshop August 5 - 9 , 2013
If you are still thinking about this workshop, only a few spaces remaining.
About the island...
Be prepared to step back about 60 years in time, to when things were simpler, there was time to appreciate a sunrise or sunset, people took time to smell the roses...again and again.
The island is like nothing you've experienced, if you're a creative person, or would like to find out if you are - you'll experience a calmness, tranquility really, that stills the inner voice to a point where you can again hear the whisper of your soul. If you've already been to the island, you know how elusive it is to put the atmosphere and the state of mind you experience in mere words...
You would be surprised how many people who take this workshop remark that they've been following the notices for a few years and they're so excited to be finally doing it 'this year'.
If you're thinking about it, listen to that whisper and don't miss this opportunity.

plein air painter - a workshop on a tiny island
American Contemporary plein air painter.
Art workshop by the Ocean...
Are you ready to experience the workshop that will change the way you paint ?
Come and join us as we paint on the tiny island of Monhegan, Maine 12 miles out to sea and one of the most charming islands in Penobscot Bay.
There are two workshop offerings this year, a 5 day intensive with J.R. Baldini (Jacq) and clinical psychologist Molly Delaney,Psy.D that will address the visualization and exercise of painting en plein air.
You know how sometimes it takes a day or two after traveling to a location for you to really get into the zone of painting ? Molly's sessions can replicate the mind set of day three of painting as you begin your workshop. This sets the tone for confidence, excitement,visualization and creativity for the workshop.
The second workshop is a two day on August 9-10, 20012,
http://artworkshops.homestead.com/Monhegan_2_day.html
for those who need a refresher or just want to paint with some guidance on this beautiful, visually intense island and their schedule doesn't fit the full week workshop.

American Contemporary plein air painter.
Does the Monhegan Workshop whisper to your soul?
J.R. Baldini and Molly Delaney, Psy.D
All levels welcome to participate at your own pace
Transformational workshop allowing your creativity to surface.
http://artworkshops.homestead.com/monheganworkshop.html
Use it to communicate, grow as an artist, handle stress and PAINT !.
If you've ever had the good fortune to spend time on an island in Maine, you know how magical an experience it can be... a place where time seems to stand still and you can hear your inner voice whispering all the possibilities of the day...
I've been painting Monhegan Island since 1974
Picture yourself walking in the footsteps of Homer, Hopper, Kent, Fitzgerald, or Wyeth... literally
Monhegan has no cars !
Then imagine being inspired not only by the beauty of Monhegan island, but also by having the key to unlock your creativity more effectively.
The plein air workshop on Monhegan is designed to help you hone your painting and creativity in ways unmatched by any other workshop.
This workshop is aimed at helping you see with ‘new eyes’ and translate your vision more effectively whether your skill level is advanced or beginner.
Here's your chance to stay and work on the magical, mystical island of Monhegan, long known for creative, spiritual and life altering forces with like minded individuals seeking the essence of oneness and serenity with nature. Experience the ancient romanticism long known to artists, poets, writers and musicians that is Monhegan, the island that time forgot...
Get in touch with your inner creative force in a reality most artists just dream about.
Imagine waking in the morning, looking out your door and everywhere you look is a painting waiting to happen. Paint en plein air in and around Monhegan Island. Classes will concentrate on capturing the light and atmosphere on location. Emphasis on color temperature and grisaille to simplify outdoor painting. All levels accepted.
En plein air, you are immediately challenged to create a strong composition and get it down before the light changes. This gives you a window of approximately twenty five minutes before the lighting pattern begins to change.
Jacqueline believes the painting experience for her, would not be the same without the use of all five senses- to hear the wind and gulls, to smell and taste the sea air and feel the sun or rain- to truly connect to the spirit of the land. Being a plein air painter forces you to stop and "smell the roses".
Monhegan is wonderful for nature walks, hiking, birding, searching for fairy houses, watching performances in a one room schoolhouse, casual conversations with interesting characters, gourmet dinners, golden sun, panoramic views, silky fog, reading a favorite book near the oceans edge or catching some rays and a snooze (multi tasking), meeting a friend over a latte, sharing your day over dinner,and watching scarlet and cherry vanilla sunsets.
And painting....
Class is held around the village and small coves.
There is considerable walking required. Please let us know if you have physical limitations.
The village is small but, there are no cars. The only vehicles on Monhegan are the Hotel trucks used for hauling and luggage. The island is 1/2 mi. wide by 1 1/2 mi. long. with 17 miles of trail.
Demonstrations capturing light patterns using grisalle and composition will be emphasized. Critiques will be held for personal growth. Personal critiques can be arranged for some of your current work. Days are spent painting in and around the island which boasts some of the most beautiful vistas , 600 species of wildflowers, 100 species of birds and at 165 feet, the highest headlands on the East Coast!
The workshop is very relaxed.
Why not treat yourself to a fun, learning holiday?
Be sure to check out the accomodations and student comments and photos page.
If you'd like more info on the island email me your address .
If you are a beginning painter or a studio painter, you are in for a great experience!
The island has two small stores for general merchandise, a library, 3 establishments for dining, 3 walk away food places, a church, a gallery that sells limited art supplies, a one room school house where community events are held, a light house and museum, a few small local craft shops and artist studios.
Should you be extending your stay, there are boats that do tours to other islands.
The island is basically rustic with most homes & cottages using kerosene lamps.
This is a step back in time, the pace is simple and slow and very conducive to creating. Monhegan has been an artist colony for years and the level of art created on and about the island is phenomenal.
Supplies should be kept to a comfortable minimum. A complete list be be mailed upon registration.
You may choose to work in Oil, Acrylic or Pastel.
There is considerable walking involved - appropriate durable footwear is required.
Please inform us if you have physical limitations.
If you do not already have supplies for plein air painting, please check with us before you purchase them.
A painting umbrella is STRONGLY recommended.
On the accomodations page you will find a list of suggestions for lodging. Participants are responsible for their own accomodations - most find the Monhegan House charming. We suggest refundable reservations for any of your travel reservations.
The hotels fill quickly so please call them early. You will also find contacts for the ferry boat.

classes from 9:00 - 4:00 pm with morning or afternoon demos each day critques are held as time allows

Workshop Title : Problem solving ‘on your feet’ en plein air painting & Creative Visualizations
Description :
5 day working on location workshop to help you achieve drama in your painting. Demo/lecture each morning.
You will learn to ‘bake the cake ‘ before you applying the frosting.
Wonder why your finished painting bears little resemblance to the excitement you felt when starting your painting ?
Students will should have 2 12x12 or smaller canvases to work on per day. Typical work day is 9 - 4pm
Creative Visualizations
Sessions incorporated during the workshop for Creative Visualizations. Re-enforce the body/mind connection and learn how your 'filters' work to your advantage.
Goals : Students at the end of a 5 day workshop will be able to recognize a strong composition and see values using grisaille.
This will enable them to make decisions when doing problem solving on their own, painting on location.
Grisaille studies, directly on canvas will enable students to commit to a composition and value plan instead
of constantly adjusting their values and shadows, commonly known as ‘chasing the light’.
This eliminates the also common fragmented, unfocused painting.
Experience level : Beginner to Advanced
Prerequisite Student Skills: It is suggested that beginners have the experience of at least one drawing course.
Students Supply their own Materials: The workshop is taught using a limited primary color palette. A complete list of suggested oil & acrylic pigments is mailed before the workshop. Canvas board or stretched canvas 12 x 12 or smaller.
A support for canvas and carrying materials. Incidental list also mailed.
A painting umbrella is strongly suggested.

Plein air painter - next workshop Monhegan Island
American Contemporary plein air painter.
And so what I've learned...
what I have realized...is that when people come to workshops and share their time with me, they may be there to further their painting, pick up a few tips, or take a trip to a neat location while doing something fun, or maybe even learn painting...but what happens is, because we all connect on a creative level, they make a transformation - we all do.
I'm always in awe when this happens. In a recent workshop a few weeks ago, I had a few people who had painted before, but just needed a confidence boost. One, at the end of the workshop made an audible sigh and had tears streaming down her face when she turned around. Her simple 'thank you' said a world of things...
I want you to know, I've been where you are. And the realization is, I like helping people to communicate, get in touch with their heart values, feel empowered that it's OK to be who they are,whether they want to be an artist or just learn that expressing ourselves creatively is a core need in our lives. With it, we can grow and mature - without it, we exist and just get on with our life. I'm no more special than anyone else. The secret is to be the best you possible. I love my life !
Take a minute to write down 5 things that make you feel so special you feel it with your heart. Spending time with family and friends is a given, so we won't include these.
In this example, you've already spent an entire day with everyone you love and said goodbye
If you had one day left on earth to do what you wanted for you - what would the 5 things be that would be the perfect day?

Monhegan Island - Rockwell Kent
On exhibit
"Rockwell Kent: This is My Own"
When: Opens Saturday at the State Museum; runs through May 17
Where: State Museum, Madison Avenue, Empire State Plaza, Albany
Hours: 9:30 a.m.-5 p.m., daily, except Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Year's Day
Cost: Free
An autobiography by Kent
"It's Me O Lord"is quite an interesting, colorful read.
You may be able to find it at your library.
Kent worked as a carpenter to subsidize his painting and large family.
He built 2 homes on Monhegan Island and worked on many others.
One is owned by Jamie Wyeth and the other with studio, until about 4 years ago, was owned by my dear friend Anne Hubert.
It has since been donated by her estate to the Monhegan Museum.
He was born in Tarrytown, NY and spent his later years in the Adirondacks.
Kent's paintings are amazing.
He died shortly before his 89th birthday in 1971.
My next trip home, to upstate NY will definitely include this trip.

Monhegan plein air painting
The value of a value study.
Monhegan plein air painting workshop participants did value studies to help them 'see' the composition of their chosen subject.
Color was introduced the second day, enphasizing that each painting should be started with a grisaille.
Painting above MICHELE COLLINS
"For years I have saved articles on Monhegan Island. It seemed to fill all my dreams of a perfect renewal vacation, while advancing my art. I needed a boot to get me out of the studio.Michele
I have a much better understanding of composing a painting. But, more important, I have gained a freedom. Jacqueline, you are a wonderful teacher. I think you showed us it is not just a painting, but a view of the day and our feelings."

Plein air painting workshop - Monhegan Island
Monhegan Island Workshop
click on image to enlarge
The workshop starts this morning - what a nice group we have.
This is the first DIVA workshop on Monhegan.
Will post more info after today - paintings, video, etc.
Yesterday, Lobstercove was in fog in the afternoon. Did a small acrylic, as my paints have not yet arrived and Molly lent me some of her acrylics.
The effect of objects in the landscape appearing and disappearing in that atmosphere is such a delight to paint.
I also did some photographs of some of the 'tourist cairns' or 'stones of Monhegan', as they're called. From certain angles, I found them fascinating, in that size perspective could be dramatically altered.
more on Monhegan Island workshop later...
