KLARA-MARIÉ DEN HEIJER

This year I had the privilege to work in the generous Louis Jansen van Vuuren's studio in the heart of France for a month, sharing the space with fellow artists Nhlanhla Dumakude Nhlapo and Ruan Huisamen. What a privilege! This photograph was taken by the lovely Leonie Scholtz.

ART INTERNSHIP

with Louis Jansen van Vuuren

Boussac, France
June 2018

My stay at Boussac had the quality of a retreat. Being removed from the responsibilities of daily life and with access to any art materials one might need, it was truly an artist's dream. It not only allowed me to focus on creative challenges at hand, I also learned all about Renaissance paintings techniques such as Italian Verdaccio, Grisaille and Bistre underpainting.

It does not end there. The work that started in the heart of France will be showcased early next year in a group exhibition with Louis Jansen van Vuuren, Nhlanhla Dumakude Nhlapo, Marlene Steyn and Ruan Huisamen amongst others!

This workshop aims to help you find a balance between the discipline
of close observation and the pursuit of creative confidence in visual expression.

The cost is R 2400 per person for 10 lessons.
