ALCHEMIST PAINTING & BOTANICAL COCKTAILS
THE RITUAL
Get meditative and channel your creative energy in a zen oasis in Tuscany. After a performance and demonstration of the alchemist painting technique, I will guide you throughout the creation process of your own abstract painting. Each of the participants will receive a kit that will include natural resin based inks, pieces of pure cotton paper, and other essentials to create your own artworks. As an outcome of this workshop, everyone will create abstract paintings that you will be able to take with you.
THE UNIVERSAL PATTERN
30th of March is a very special date for the ones who are curious about the astrological patterns. On this day, the planet of dreams and intuition, Neptune enters Aries for the first time since 17th century. Aries is an alpha of the Zodiac, a leading sign that starts the solar cycle of the year. Neptune brings the opportunity to reconnect to the beginning, to the source, to replenish the energy and start a new cycle.
The alchemist ritual will be dedicated to the evolution of creative energy: from imagination to materialising it, and from personal to the universal.
THE COLOR PALETTE:
The alchemist workshop on the 30th of March will be focused on the neutrals paired with the blues and golden accents, following the Aries - Neptune due.
THE INSPIRATION:
Alchemist painting is an experience, a philosophy, and a technique.
This practice that allows you to experience the letting go: of the pre-determined result, the sense of time, and escape the creative constraints. Similar to art therapy, alchemist painting reconnects you with intuitive sense of self.
