November 8 - 15, 2025 (8 days / 7 nights)
ITALY, Tuscany
Join me for a relaxed and supportive retreat where you will make small scale acrylic paintings that explore an improvisational approach to abstraction. The emphasis is on experimentation and workflow with special focus on the interplay between intention and chance in the creative process. You’ll use various tools and both additive and subtractive painting strategies to generate visual events that can be developed into compelling abstract compositions. Studio work is complemented by slide shows and discussions that examine both historical and contemporary abstract painting. Painters at all levels of experience are welcome to participate. Class size is limited to ensure personalized instruction, so sign up soon to secure your spot.
