Modeling, sculpting and painting in nature
21 - 25 August 2023 with Jeroen Spijker
This creative course (for beginners and advanced) teaches you new techniques and views on your artwork. It can be a nice start in modeling or sculpting, and it's definitely a nice atmosphere for outdoor creativity.
Work on your own art in a nice, creative atmosphere in Croatia's rich nature. Facilitator Jeroen Spijker helps you to make the next step with oil paint, aquarel, drawing, modeling and/or sculpting.
Find your own spot in Bogata Suma's edible landscape to work on your own art project. Jeroen Spijker facilitates the artistic guidance and advices next step(s). You can make steps to more abstract work, or work more figurative or intuitive.
The guidance is individually focused and on demand, so you can indicate yourself how far you want to go.
You can choose to deepen your techniques in sculpting, modeling or painting, or a combination of techniques. In the second half of the week you can change materials or techniques.
The result: usually people make two clay figurines, one or two paintings, or a stone sculpture in a week.
Bring your own tools and materials, and pictures (from all angles) of your subject(s) as an example.
We could buy materials for you here in Croatia, if bringing your own is a logistic problem. Contact us about your wishes.
