NEW WORK SHOPS!!!!
Soul, Surface, Structure, Symbol
with Doreille Caimi and Brett Andrus AUG 13th-17th
Mastering the Human Form: Dorielle and Brett will guide you through the techniques of painting the human figure with both precision and expression. Learn how to capture not just the physical likeness, but the essence of your subject, with emphasis on anatomy, light, shadow, composition, and form.
Symbolism in Art: Learn how to incorporate symbolic elements into your work to convey complex ideas, emotions, and messages. We will discuss the use of visual metaphors, color theory, and other symbolic devices to give your work greater depth and resonance.
Conceptual Exploration: Tap into your creativity and push beyond the traditional boundaries of figurative painting. This workshop will introduce you to conceptual art practices, helping you to think critically about the themes and messages you wish to explore in your artwork.
Personal Expression: Through guided exercises and individual feedback, we’ll help you discover and evolve your own voice as an artist. You’ll have the space to explore personal themes, ideas, and stories through your paintings, while gaining the confidence to express yourself authentically.
The Experience: This is more than just a painting workshop—it’s an immersive creative retreat. We’ve planned an unforgettable week full of inspiration, community, and good food. Bosky Studio's location in Downtown Colorado Springs places us in the heart of a vibrant artistic community, with access to local galleries, cafes, and cultural landmarks. The workshop itself will offer ongoing demos by Brett and Dorielle, a lecture, one-on-one guidance, and plenty of free time to experiment, reflect, and develop your ideas.
At the end of each day, we’ll gather for delicious meals together, sharing stories, enjoying the camaraderie of fellow artists, and celebrating the creative process. We want you to leave this workshop not only with new skills and finished works but also with new friendships and memories of an enriching, and an altogether fun-filled week.
Spaces are limited—sign up today and be part of this special week in beautiful Downtown Colorado Springs!
