A Zen Painting Retreat

You'll find it's both relaxing and fulfilling. Like the Asian painting masters before us, you'll study the essence of nature, and then paint intuitively and spontaneously in a comfortable and supportive environment. This workshop will focus on classic bamboo painting. You'll also explore abstract imagery using mind/body techniques from both Eastern and Western cultures. Learn the Asian traditions - then create individual compositions to express your inner creative spirit. This multilevel workshop makes classic Asian ink painting techniques accessible to beginners while offering technical secrets and challenges for the experienced artist. It is an excellent resource for potters wanting to use Asian decorative techniques.


Please join Pamela for a Power Point presentation about her work and her teaching method. The presentation will be followed by an open studio visit to see works created by
workshop participants and get a free ink painting mini-lesson from one of them.
