Painting with Dylan M
June 5th - 9th, 2024
During this summer retreat Dylan M, working illustrator and teacher to 140k students worldwide, will be leading you through various gouache painting demonstrations to get you loosened up and settled in with your sketchbook. A sketchbook practice is the clearest route to making art that satisfies, yet many artists struggle with knowing where to start or how to harness the gusto to keep going. Dylan will show retreat attendees that creating memorable and wonderful works of art, and growing a stable and nourishing sketchbook practice, doesn't have to be daunting, difficult, or full of pressure.
Beyond our painting sessions and mealtimes together, we'll also practice quick morning pages (a journaling practice to clear out the mental cobwebs), answer any questions that come up during sessions or while looking through my past sketchbooks, snap pictures of flowers around the property, and most importantly eat snacks in the barn.
This retreat feels like a casual summer camp for adults who would like a little creative get-away with people who somehow already get you.
Fee: $1750
