Wildpainting the mountains at Gjendebu hytta
At this 5 day painting course, participants will draw and paint the rough and breathtaking landscape along lake Gjendebu in the Jotunheimen National Park in Norway. Teacher Jan van Boeckel, himself a landscape painter, will facilitate a form of painting which he calls “wildpainting”, connecting with nature in new and exciting ways, in an effort to see the world around us with fresh eyes. All participants will get personal instructions and feedback, in either Dutch, English or Swedish. The course price includes full accommodation (in shared bedrooms for two persons) and delicious food at Gjendebu hytta. The mountain hut is only reachable by hiking on foot or by taking the small ferry acroos the long, outstretched lake of Gjende.
The painting medium that is used is acrylic paint. Participants will be using a painting easel and will paint on paper. (50 x 70 cm). Paints, brushes and paper will be provided and are part of the course fee. The course ends Friday afternoon. At 16 PM, a boat leaves Gjendebu to Gjendesheim, from where a connecting direct bus can bring you to Oslo (arrival 22.05 PM). The course will take place if there are at least six participants by June 30, 2014.
