Once again, I am planning a three day class to paint a mandala on silk. A mandala is a circular geometrically harmonious design. Sounds difficult? No! Each step is guided and suits both beginners and experienced artists.The size of the finished piece will be 23x23.
We will begin with a slide show of my mandalas, then a guided visuallization to find a personal healing image, then a simple drawing. After that we will duplicate the image, draw and divide a circle, cut and paste and the basic design is done. Of course many magical things happen along the way.
Painting this design on silk is the next adventure. We will learn to use gutta percha resist to draw the lines of the design, then to fill in with liquid dyes, learning color mixing and blending along the way.
Each day will begin with a meditation to focus energy and also added to the nature of the class are each person's fresh ideas and interchange.
The INSTRUCTOR is MARGRIET SEINEN who has been painting on silk for 25 years. Her work can be seen at the Mateel Art Gallery and Kidz'n'more, in Garberville and at her website www.seinensilk.com (there are also mandala class photos on the site).
The cost of the class is $175 and includes all silk and dyes, resist, a silk frame, and paper. Please enclose a check made out to Margriet Seinen (Box 639, Redway CA 95560) for the full amount or a deposit of at least $50 to hold your space, preferably 2weeks prior to the class (by Feb 10). Thank you.
