Sketch for a Day or Come & Stay

I’m so excited to be able to work once again with the wonderfully talented Catherine, we worked together two years ago with Natalia @Saffronrosewellbeing and it was on this retreat I watched the creative sparks come alive in each individual, it was a magical moment!  Catherine isn’t travelling around the world and sketching with guests due to all our changed circumstances of late, so I have grabbed the opportunity to get her back up to Chalet Savoie Faire.

Sketching with Catherine

Catherine Moullé invites us to pose, to learn to look, to put down what we understand and feel of what surrounds us on our sketchbook… We will play with the inevitable mistakes of sketching on the spot. Drawing, coloring and composition – using writing and collage for fun, are going to make it very personal. Each page is a memory of a moment, of a place, and it’s a great pleasure to reopen our sketchbook a few months or years later, to rediscover the sensations experienced while we were sketching (atmosphere, encounters, etc …). Anyone who dares to try the adventure will surprise themselves creating a very personal page.

Catherine Moullé nous invite à nous poser, à apprendre à regarder, à laisser aller sur la page de notre carnet ce que nous comprenons et ressentons de ce qui nous entoure… Nous allons jouer avec les erreurs inévitables du croquis sur le vif. En composant notre page avec dessin, mise en couleur et composition – utilisant écriture et collage pour agrémenter si besoin, nous en ferons une page très personnelle. Chaque page est un souvenir d’un moment, d’un endroit. C’est un grand bonheur en rouvrant son carnet quelques mois ou années plus tard, de retrouver les sensations vécues pendant que l’on dessinait (ambiance, rencontres, etc..). Toute personne qui ose tenter l’aventure se surprendra à créer ‘sa page’.
