Jun 2, 2016 to Jun 5, 2016 - Art Retreat in Limberlost forest Reserve in Muskoka, Ontario
Limberlost is an amazing location — every direction you turn is another painting. Limberlost has 10,000 acres of forest, rivers and lakes to choose from.The retreat leader is Keith Thirgood. Keith has been teaching plein air painting for the past eight years. He is described as a post-impressionist although he prefers Canadian Reductionist. At this retreat you will be encouraged to paint in a freer, looser manner. To get away from up-tight, detailed painting.
Keith will also be teaching Modern Colour theory and showing how, with his reduced palette, you can create almost any color you desire with ease. Many attendees of his retreats and workshops say that the colour portion of his workshops are worth the price of the entire event alone. See website.
