Mapping Place:  A 3-Day Landscape Painting Retreat in Encaustic

At the Historic Vaughn Homestead in Hallowell, Maine

Immerse yourself in nature and art making in an extraordinary place in Central Maine. Enjoy the majestic views of the Kennebec River, stone bridges, luscious gardens and ancient trees whilst developing work both on-site and in the Carriage House studios. Dig deep into encaustic, building texture and surface that responds to morning work considering atmosphere, light and landscape forms. Attention will be given to individual vision and developing strong compositional work. Participants will create paintings based on memory, sketches, and personal interpretations of place. This retreat will also offer guided walks, historic and environmental tours of the Homestead, the Vaughn Woods, yoga, and organic meals. This retreat is open to beginners and new to encaustic.
