Who is this workshop for?

The difficulty of learning to paint resides in the amount of information - often contradictory - that we must assimilate, which produces an art more focused on the fear of error than on creative joy. We experience disappointment and unease at not being able to structure our emotions with the techniques that we are still trying to digest.

In this workshop, you will reconnect with that ‘forgotten touch’ that channels emotion through your unconscious activity. Get ready to scout the invisible: you will not be taught to “paint two eyes”, but to capture the gaze through the emotion of the gesture. Zin Lim will show you how the emotional use of line, value, and color can precede technical rigor, avoiding frustration. The goal of the workshop is that you gain more confidence in yourself and that you have fun painting.

Hopefully, on the last day, you can look face to face at your best artwork!

P.S.- It’s normal to experience some confusion during the first stage of his demonstrations since Zin Lim’s creative process starts from a seemingly chaotic area from which no structure can be deduced.

 



Perfect
 for you if…

  • If you feel your painting rigid and want to unleash your emotions with a more expressive and painterly approach.
  • If you want to transform your art with your vision, and learn unique stylization techniques.
  • You love meeting people like you, participating in art chats and living along with Zin Lim.

 

NOT
 for you if…

  • If you believe that accuracy and precision are more important than personal expression.
  • If you consider that joy in execution is not the basis of your creative process.
  • You’re not interested in the experience of meeting diverse people, discussing art with them and questioning their ideas.

What will you learn?

In this workshop, you will learn drawing and painting techniques designed to unlock your expressiveness and transform your art.

In addition, you will learn more efficient work processes for figure drawing, as well as portrait painting. Zin Lim will show you, step by step, how to manage the process of your artwork from a good beginning to its completion, without sacrificing vitality.

Through talks, demonstrations, and critiques, in this workshop you will learn to work on gesture and value, design strategies, stylization techniques, creative processes, and visual effects techniques. Also, you will learn to understand space and, finally, to improvise.

Zin Lim will put all his energy to make the process fun so you can enjoy creating artworks, regardless of your skills.
Sounds good, right? 😎

Where will be accommodated at?

 

Biniatram is a rural house located in the north of the island of Menorca, very close to Ciutadella and Cala Morell, and just five minutes away from a protected natural area that includes the virgin beaches of Algaiarens.

The rooms have all the comforts and the house has a swimming pool, garden, chapel, bar, and a sports area. It also has a private road to the north coast, surrounded by pastures and forests.

Can I go with my family or friends?

 

YES.

 

If you choose a single room or a private apartment, you can come with a companion. Due to capacity there’s a maximum of one companion per attendant.

Usually, those who choose this option also choose a rental car so they can spend free time visiting the island, it’s worthy.

 

What about the food?

 

The food it’s homemade, farm-to-table, and made with local products.

The residency includes 3 meals a day: breakfast, lunch and dinner, as well as water, coffee, tea and soft drinks for studio breaks. Special dietary needs must be notified in advance in order to be properly satisfied.

Tell us about any medical problem or serious allergy: we need to know it in order to prepare an adapted menu. We’d appreciate if you tell us as soon as possible so we can properly organize everything.

 

IMPORTANT:

  • We DO NOT attend to personal preferences, and only those people who certify serious medical problems with food will have an adapted menu. If you want to eat something different, you can use the shared kitchen and fridge.
Open studio?

 

YES.

Our studio, located at the Estate’s former cheese manufacturing nave, is available for the students beyond workshops’ schedule time. There’s no schedule for inspiration.

Ah... did I mention that at Biniatram we do have a 3.900 sq ft. studio?
