Which Thangka Painting Retreat are you joining this year?
โ โThe Art of Thangka can be best learned and practiced in a retreat setting - a place where you'll also stay and where dinner is served to you so you can fully focus on your drawing/painting. In addition there's time to bond and socialize with other students, make long walks or do some sightseeing (Florence, anyone?). โ
In a retreat week you can also learn to work with the traditional thangka painting techniques, so it gives a much deeper experience than a day class or weekend workshop.
All retreats offer different subjects to choose from and are suitable for all levels, including absolute beginners. โ
This year I'm offering three retreat weeks; in Italy, the US and in The Netherlands, which one do you choose?
