Meditative Painting

I attended a meditative painting weekend in France. 

At L'Huis Préau : http://preau.nl/

I had the most amazing time. 

The location is BEAUTIFUL, great owners and lovely staff,  delicious food (vegetarian and organic!), wonderful inspirational teacher Batya van Brakel (www.kleurkunst.nl) and a great group of fellow workshop attendees. It was fabulous! I am so long to still be there!

Here are some photo's of the paintings I made there. Remember it is all about the process, not really about them being "pretty", this felt really liberating! Must do this more!

Buddha

I just finished my first Buddha drawing.  

I really like it. 

Hope you do too!

Thanka

Hi everyone!

I started taking Thanka drawing lessons. 

History of Tibetan Buddhist scroll paintings 

The literal translation of the Tibetan word THANG KA means 'recorded message'. 

Thangkas communicate a message to the practitioner, serving as an aid to teaching and as an aid

to meditation through the visualisation of the deity.

It is a medium through which the Buddhist philosophy can be explained.

Originally lamas and monks used scroll paintings to instruct the Buddhist Dharma (teachings). 

These paintings were easily transported and unrolled to suit the needs of the mainly nomadic population. You can read more here: http://www.tibetanthangkapainting.com/index-history-thangka-painting-tibetan-buddhas.html

Here are my first drawings:

Scan

Perhaps I like this scan of the Isis drawing better. What do you think?
