Robert Sinclair in NZ 2007

"I am interested in the
painting of perception.
The perception of the
extraordinary in
the ordinary.
Of the backyard flower and of the
faraway mountain...
of the sun and of the moon...
Of that which calls my heart.
This is the dance I play, and my art
is the visible remnant."

For a biography of Robert Sinclair see here.

Our medium is the constantly changing colour-scape of mind.

This week Robert will lead us in an exploration of clear seeing and deepening knowing through the doorway of painting and drawing.The first part of the week will involve using oriental brushes and ink on rice paper to stimulate the creative process of image making. Following this will be an exploration of drawing as a way of clarifying our seeing and engagement with the world. The latter part of the week will focus on blending these with watercolour painting.

Various mindfulness exercises, art projects, body movement and guided visualisations will be interwoven to make a week of very rich exploration.

The course is limited to approximately 20 participants.
A list of required art materials is available.
