SPEND A WEEKEND WITH MARILYN HUGHEY PHILLIS & CHERYL HARSHMAN AS YOUR GUIDES INTO CREATIVE REALMS
CELEBRATING THE CREATIVE SPIRIT:
a workshop of art and creativity
September 9-12, 2010
Sandscrest Retreat Center
Wheeling, WV
This workshop will emphasize the creative nature that is a part of each being. In the very act of creating, there develops a unique expressive image which creates the individual artistic statement. This can be a sacred and very personal act for each artist. That inner spiritual nature within each artist must be expressed in its truest form to create, through design and expressive energy, a work that has impact and also reaches the heart.
In the beautiful settings of trees and hills of Sandscrest, we can gather informally to search for nature's and our own message in our work. Some exercises will be suggested, but you are free to pursue your own search during the workshop. We seek to become better visual communicators through our paint, brushes, papers, and sharing of dreams and ideas.
Marilyn will share different approaches to your personal statement plus explorations of fluid acrylic paint and/or watercolor in ways of expressing nature's beauty.
All levels of experience accepted. A materials list will be sent on receipt of registration.
The Details
