This seminar will explore the dynamic balance between structure and flow at the heart of the creative process.

As visual artists we are constantly engaging with our imagination and seeking inspiration from it. Could we be bolder in identifying ways of considering it, bridging the gap toward the imagination and all that it holds with more clarity of purpose? Could we map the path way in? Could we study our intent along the way and refine it? Could we become better artists, storytellers and creatives by claiming our own inner territory and all that doing this entails? Inner Journeying is a way to the wellspring which aids in administering all imaginal inspiration to us. During this course you will learn Kevin's Trifold Approach to Inner Journeying, teaching you the essentials of the practice. He will also guide you to discovering your own Alchemical Memory Palace and in journeying into the subtle levels of your painting while effectively helping you expand and hone your inner senses. In parallel to this, he will instruct you in his most used and most loved techniques for painting in acrylics. You will learn how to create a textural imprimatura or ground, the 'Prima Materia' of your painting, inviting unexpected elements to appear. You will learn how to transfer your composition and begin a monochromatic underpainting, developing values and creating volume and depth with shadows and highlights from a mid tone. You will further learn about colour glazing and adding layers of refinement. Kevin will teach his 'glasslike' Vitreous Technique, a way of creating fluid glasslike and gemlike effects which can be incorporated into your piece. Join us this November for 'Dreaming Awake'!

Mythology and Monsters with Krisztina Lazar

October 22, 2022 6 - 9pm Central European/ 12 - 3pm Eastern / 9am - 12pm Pacific/ 3am - 6am AEDT (1DAY) (*Please check your local time zones. ) Mythology and Monsters is an exploration of the creatures that reside in our collective unconscious and what exactly is a “monster.” Visionary art doesn’t often contain these beings and beasts unless it is categorized in the darker visionary genre. But monsters are so much more than merely nightmarish. They often hold the poles between the terrifying and the sublime, containing both ends of the spectrum depending on how you look at them. There can be a place for the monstrous even in the most light focused practice. After the lecture, each participant envisions their own personal monster that they work with for the rest of the workshop. Just like the grand naturalist exploration expeditions of old, you sketch your monster not just as a whole, but document their unique attributes. As Visionary Biologists, you draw how many eyes your monster has, what their claws look like and how they use them, discover what their natural habitat is like and what their primary diet in the wild is, and take notes about their feeding, mating, sleeping habits, just to name a few examples. This class playfully explores the intersection between beauty and terror, the awe-inspiring and the depths of cosmic horror.
