Description:

Green Tara & the 21 Taras: The fearless, female Buddha of Active Compassion 

In this long thangka course you will learn to draw and/or paint Green Tara according to the Tibetan thangka tradition.

This retreat is suitable for beginners, half-experienced and experienced students:

• Beginners and half-experienced will learn to draw Green Tara, as well as color or paint her after that. Total beginners will start learning how to draw a Buddha face (always the basis), before moving on to Green Tara. After the drawing you can choose to color her and learn the colour pencil techniques (advisable for total beginners and people who want to return home with a finished artwork), or make a start to paint her with the thangka painting techniques.

• More experienced students can choose to draw Green Tara and the 21 Taras in this retreat (and hopefully make a start coloring or painting it).
If you have drawn a Green Tara at Carmen’s classes before you can choose to transfer the drawing onto a canvas and start painting her.
 If you choose The 21 Taras as subject please contact Carmen before the retreat, so she can prepare this for you.

• This retreat can also be used to continue/finish other thangka artwork that you’ve been working on. Of course you will receive the grids of the subject of this retreat, to start in the future.

Besides the drawing/painting sessions in this course you will learn through lectures & slideshows all about Green Tara and her symbolism, her mantra and meaning, as well as practicing her meditations.

You don’t need any drawing or painting experience. Carmen offers a lot of individual guidance, at your own level.

English and Italian: The teachings are given in English, and when there are a lot of Italians they will also be translated in Italian by one of the advanced Italian students.
