About Beyond the View: Painting the Abstracted Landscape
Beyond the View is an immersive 2-day workshop for painters with some experience who are ready to deepen their relationship with landscape. Led by artist Julie Himel, this workshop explores the shift from observation to intuition and back again, helping participants move beyond source material and into a more personal, expressive visual language.
Through discussion, demonstration, studio exercises, and plenty of painting time, we’ll explore memory, emotion, colour composition, and abstraction as tools for creating work that feels authentic rather than descriptive. Sketching and reflective writing will accompany the painting process, encouraging participants to trust their instincts and discover new ways of responding to the landscape.
Ideal for those looking to loosen their practice, take creative risks, and experience their process in a new way. Come prepared to experiment, embrace uncertainty, and uncover your landscape within.
