UPCOMING ZOOM WORKSHOPS

Are you interested in a new Zoom Class coming later this year and early 2025? I will be offering a beginning class for those who want to learn the process I use or perhaps to begin again and revisit the apps. I will also be offering an advanced class for those who have studied with me or those who know the apps of Procreate, Superimpose X and/or Photoshop and are compositing work already. Class size is limited to 6-7 each. It will include 6 classes, each 2 hours. More info and pricing to come. Please email me to get on the list: KDIVINEBOULDER@YAHOO.COM

 

CAPTURING THE SPIRIT…AN ENGLISH COUNTRYSIDE ADVENTURE

Join Karen Divine and Lord Spencer and Lady Tracy Northampton in a unique, week-long adventure geared to move you outside your comfort zone, challenging you to make imagery that reflects a new and unique personal perspective.  Freedom Through the Creative Process is the technique Karen developed and teaches to create art from an intuitive place.  There are five steps in this process.  The first is creating a background, the second is learning to allow the imagery to appear, the third is creating balance, the fourth is pulling the image together using color, shapes, lines, and additional elements. The fifth and last optional step of this process involves opening yourself up to what this new work is revealing to you about your life and the present moment.  We will spend two hours each day practicing this process with additional work time throughout the day.  In addition, you may also work with mixed media options.  I will print your imagery prior to the workshop so you may continue working it with pastels, pencils, etc.  For beginners, I will send app tutorials so you are familiar with the iPhone apps we will use which are Superimpose X, Procreate (iPad) and Snapseed. Or, feel free to use Photoshop if you are familiar with using layers and masks. You may also use the iPhone or a DSLR Camera. 

The fabric of all our experiences exists in our imagery:  our shadows, dreams, joys, doubts, and fears. Throughout the week, we will tap into this creative spirit by quieting our minds through restorative yoga, gentle meditations, and sound healing.

This workshop is a unique opportunity for many reasons.  It is located in the grounds of Castle Ashby in Northampton where Tracy and Spenny built a beautiful boutique hotel called The Falcon.  Here you may choose to take an Open Swim in their private lake at Castle Ashby.  Andy Patmore, a senior forester, will take us on a Sane Copse Nature Walk and teach us about the environment as we capture imagery during the early morning light.  There is also a Bird Ringing session with Nick Woods early Saturday morning to learn all about the Birds in the area.  Spenny will give us a tour on the history of Castle Ashby and the Gardens and possibly a private tour of the Castle.   All our meals with be at The Falcon and are amazingly delicious and healthy.

The countryside is gorgeous, filled with rolling hills, sheep, and a thousand years of history.  Tours to be determined.  Last year we went to Bletchley Park, the principal center of Allied codebreaking during the Second World War and a tour of Delapre Abbey.  It is a full week of opportunities not only to capture stunning photos in the incredibly beautiful countryside, but to also spend as much time as you would like to create magical imagery.

PRIVATE AND GROUP ZOOM CLASSES:

(More to come)

TWO SEPARATE CLASSES: JANUARY 3-24, 2024 (FULL) AND JANUARY 5-26, 2024 (FULL)

I am offering the next step to Freedom in the Creative Process for a SMALL group. I have new ideas for exercises that I want to suggest or, you may establish your own goals. It’s 4 two hour sessions and one private session. You must be comfortable with the fundamentals of iPhone layering apps such as Superimpose X, Procreate, Photoshop or any other iPhone multi-layering apps to continue a creative journey with me. We will review these apps and, during your private session we will also address your questions about your goals.You may use your iPhone or any camera. We constantly want to move outside our comfort zone and make visual illustrations that comprise the foundation of who we are as well as that which makes us totally unique as creative individuals. The fabric of all our experiences exists in our imagery – the shadows, dreams, joys, doubts, and fears and, given the tools, these qualities will appear in our work. Art is an amazing tool for self-discovery.In this workshop, we are going to dig deeper into our work. I will present several different assignments each week, directing them towards each participants personal goals. The class will be on Wednesday mornings MT 9:00-11:00am in January beginning January 3, 2024 (FULL).

The second class is Fridays January 5-26, 9:00-11:00 am.
