Vedic Art Foundation Course, 7-13 June 2025
Taught in English & Dutch by Meij Gommers
This course is also offered as A Retreat at The Grapevine House, for 1-4 people. If you wish to book it as a retreat please contact us for details.
In the Foundation course students are introduced to the 17 Principles of art and life. The starting point is your own inner motivation. You put pen to paper and then the creation process goes into full expansion. It is very simple. The only thing that can be a bit difficult is to stop painting!
The Foundation Course is for those of you who have not done Vedic Art courses before, or only gone through parts of the basic course. Foundation courses in Aegina always follow the original programme as it was created by the founder of Vedic Art, Curt Källman. No prior art experience is required to attend the course.
The course runs for 6 days from Saturday evening to the following Saturday morning. The lectures take place at The Cool Projects Studio, are usually set in the morning and run for 30-45 mins. The rest of the day you are free to paint in your studio space or take time off to use as you please.
Basic materials needed: canvas, notebook, pencils, sketchbook, water based colours and tools of your choice, cloths that can get covered in paint and last but not least, your inspiration.
