At the time our team began planning our on-location workshop in my stomping grounds, we felt certain that by Spring of 2021,
our world would have a COVID all clear, but today that picture has changed considerably. As a result, our team has chosen wisely, I think, to push the date forward to early Fall, 2021. Precisely, the new date is September 24-26, 2021, a bit more than a year from now.
The Concept We Will Study
During the workshop we will focus on Using Balance Creatively.
The Balance Principle is the most important of all composing principles because if our paintings are not balanced, they suffer. There are four major kinds of balance, all having one thing in common: each can
be used without it being obvious how it is used. THAT is what we will have fun learning during this three-day workshop.
This is not a plein air workshop, nor will you go home with a finished painting. However, you
will go home with lots of studies and new tools for how to use balance to create stronger and more interesting paintings.
In order for me to give each participant individual attention, the spaces are limited to
14. So reservations will have to be first come/first served. That means the first 14 people to sign up on our reservation calendar are it. We will, however maintain a waiting list in case any of the original 14 drop out. The order of that, too, will be first come/first served.
The workshop will be held at the Skylake Clubhouse located near 106 Sautee Trail, in the
remote mountain community of Sautee-Nacoochee, Georgia 30571.
You will be responsible for your own lodging. There are B&Bs in
the Sautee area and motels in Helen, a little town 7 miles from our location. Travel advisors probably list the Sautee Nacoochee Center destination as the closest to Skylake which is about three miles. When deciding on your accommodations, consider the distance to the Center. There are also campgrounds, should that be the way you want to go.
Another thing to consider is that there will be an Oktoberfest in Helen during this time, so booking as early as possible is advised.
Because you will see more cows than cars, we will have catered a Continental Breakfast each morning, and box lunches every day. The cost of these are added to the workshop fee. We will send you
menus prior to the workshop so that you can select your lunches.
On Friday evening, our group will have a Dutch treat dinner together at The Attic in Clarkesville. Any family members or friends accompanying you are welcome to join us. For your Saturday dinner, there is a variety
of restaurant choices in the Sautee-Helen-Cleveland-Clarkesville area. If you will need transportation, Uber is available.
