PEINTURE ET CREATIVITÉ
OLIVER SCHNEIDER

In an extraordinary setting in the south of Andalusia, the artist Oliver Schneider offers one-week workshops in his house/workshop focused on the creative process applied to painting.

Workshop "Painting and creativity"

Launching into the creation of a new work is one thing, staying creative as it progresses, not locking yourself in, knowing when to stop… can be more difficult!
A big challenge to remain in control of your work while being open to the sometimes unexpected path that a painting takes.
And yet it is often there that the creativity of the artist proves to be the most enriching.
It's sometimes by stepping out of your comfort zone, leaving aside your habits that you really progress.
Acquiring new know-how and having the courage to question them is a fragile balance that offers the creator an opportunity to surpass himself in order to get closer to what he carries within him.

 

During the internship week, the work will focus on:
- a series of exercises focused on imposed parameters such as the number of colors and/or interventions, the type of composition, the duration, etc.
- a variation of media, oil paint, acrylic, ink, walnut broux…
- color, starting exclusively with powdered pigments
- the combination of painting, drawing, collages on canvas and paper
Beyond the work in the workshop, it's the time spent together, the sharing of feelings,
the differences in perception… which will enrich this intensive week.

La Nature comme source d'inspiration
OLIVER SCHNEIDER

In an extraordinary setting in the south of Andalusia, the artist Oliver Schneider offers one-week workshops in his house/workshop focused on the creative process applied to painting.

Painting course

"Nature as a source of inspiration"

Nature and all that it carries in it are all sources of inspiration at the time of expressing these emotions.

During this week of training it is planned to alternate transfers of paint/sketches in the natural park of the Estrecho and in the workshop.

The fact of being confronted with the richness, complexity and splendour of a natural setting requires even more than usual to make choices of framing, to prioritize and differentiate the different components of the image. The economy of means, constraints linked to place, encourage us to go to the essential. A very enriching experience at the time of working again at the workshop.

This workshop precedes the one proposed by Patricia Pittet. A week of sculpture also focused on "nature as a source of inspiration". For those who would like to do a more complete experience on the creative process and spend 2 weeks in this magical place!

In an extraordinary setting in southern Andalusia, the artist Patricia Pittet assisted by Sandra Schmidt propose a sculpture workshop in September 2024

Nature as a source of inspiration

Connection between Nature and creativity. 

As a path, a link that moves us;

A look that clings to a branch that is lost in this root. 

Our roots to us, can be conscious or unconscious. 

The foot that touches a stone; the eye stops, epille, maybe a trace, an imprint, who knows…. 

And of all this beauty that welcomes us, from thread to needle, from roots to weaving, from paper to stone. 

Our imagination and creativity flow with reflections… without waiting too long, we are active with this recollection like a seed that blooms. 

Mixed media :  recycling, old fabrics, bark, Paper mache, Paper wire, linen, bronze copper and many other supports to allow us to implement our creative need.

Moti
MOTI

In the beautiful setting of southern Andalusia, host to artists Patricia Pittet and Oliver Schneider, the visual artist Moti offers for the first time a one-week internship entirely dedicated to drawing.

She has a solid experience in the field, recognizable in her great images, and also the result of years of intensive internships and teaching, especially at the CFP Arts in Geneva. 

Internship DRAWING IN ALL ITS STATES

Drawing is a practice of attention and letting go.

It’s reproducing something you see or imagine, figurative or abstract, slowly or at full speed. It is to experiment with the small format and the big gesture, with the very precise and the fuzzy, the ordered and the chaotic. It is to use, to do this, the often ancestral techniques of drawing, of incomparable richness, to (re)discover in this workshop.

 

Participants will complete a specific set of technical exercises, using graphite, black stone, blood, charcoal, white chalk, ink, etc., and at the same time, will follow their own creative path, experimenting freely.

INFORMATIONS PRATIQUES Les places étant comptées, n’hésitez pas à vous manifester rapidement. Le stage commençant le dimanche matin, il est nécessaire d'arriver sur place un jour avant.
