This new course will give you an opportunity to gather your thoughts and softly reflect on where you want to take your painting.
It will allow you time, space and support to plan forwards into 2024, creating ideas on direction and content for project work and paintings. It is designed to reduce any pressures or anxiety about what and why you are creating over the next year.
It is the perfect time
of year to come together with fellow creatives, set your creative
goals and although in no way a prescriptive timetable, this
immersive weekend course will assist you in identifying your own
personal creative direction.
We will set goals, timetable deadlines and work backwards to reduce stress, getting those creative juices flowing and giving yourself permission to reassess how your creative practice will develop towards your own best interests in the year ahead.
Please bring, or email in advance, a selection/examples of your work which will be used as a starting point for your own self-led, but gently guided, progression.
We may have the opportunity to work outdoors so please bring weatherproof clothing and footwear with you.
Please bring a notebook and whatever materials you might prefer to work with.
Cost €160. 10am-4pm each day. 6 participants. Tea and coffee provided. Light lunch provided. Please let us know if you have any dietary requirements.
Please bring your own materials. We can supply materials at a reasonable price, but you would need to let us know in advance.
A suggested Materials List will be emailed one month in advance of the course. You are welcome to bring whatever medium you prefer but we specialize in working with oils.
Resident artist Sinéad Smyth will lead the course.
Accommodation
We have reduced rate accommodation for up to four people at our Artists' Retreat during our art course weekends. It's reduced because the public areas are used by other course participants during the day. If it's already booked, we can recommend other local places to stay.
You can view our rooms here: artstaysdonegal.com.
Email us for booking and more information as booking is not available on the website for these weekends.
