Fine Art Connoisseur magazine talks about my Sweden Workshop

I'm honored to have an article written by Vanessa Françoise Rothe in the April 2013 issue of Fine Art Connoisseur magazine about my recent trip and workshop in Sweden. Whats even cooler is that it follows the article on an artist who has influenced my work more than almost any other artist, Swedish painter Anders Zorn.
If you are on the east coast don't miss the exhibition on Zorn at the Stewart Gardner Museum going on now through May 13th before it heads to California.

Sweden Workshop July 2012

Im offering a 6 Day outdoor figure painting workshop in Sweden July 19th - 24th 2012.
For more info go to my site.

"Come travel in the footsteps of Master Anders Zorn with Jeremy Lipking as he guides you on a six-day magical tour to Sweden visiting the homeland of his painting idol.

This is a once in a life-time experience! A very personalized grand tour with Lipking to Stockholm visiting the National Museum of Fine Arts, home of many Zorn masterpieces, and Mora, Zorn's birthplace now housing his museum, The Zorn Collections.

Like Zorn, Lipking is considered a naturalist painter and has taken many of his painting cues from an intense study of this great man's oeuvre.

Imagine viewing these Zorn works up close and in person with Lipking as he casts his highly trained eye over the masterpieces reviewing them just a small intimate group of fellow travelers?

Your trip includes a painting workshop with Lipking, many figure landscape painting opportunities in the area and frequent demos. Lipking will host three 'alfresco' style picnic lunches and also an informal dinner with wine at his travel residence on Varmdo in the Stockholm archipelago in the style of the old 'art salons' of the past.

The traveling group will be kept small to optimize the learning experience so book fast as space is very limited.

Cost: $2,700. Includes six nights hotel lodging double occupancy on Varmdo and in Mora from the 18th-23th, continental breakfasts, three 'alfresco' style picnic lunches and a dinner hosted by Jeremy.

Not Included: Air travel to and from Sweden, car rental and train travel, meals other than stated above are not included, art supplies, personal travel insurance.

The Workshop dates are July 19th to July 24th 2012.

Use the link here to pay for your spot in full. There will be no refunds after June 1st. Partial 50% refund by May 1st. Partial 25 per cent refund up until April 1st. Any questions email Danielle Lipking at danielle [at] lipking.com or call 818 451-7675

Sierra Landscape Painting Workshop

Here are some pictures from my landscape painting workshop in the Sierra's. We made the town of June Lake our base camp and each day went out to paint a different location between Yosemite and Mammoth Lakes. We all had a great time, great weather and some amazing subjects to paint.

Painting a waterfall in Lee Vining Canyon

An Aspen grove in Lee Vining Canyon.

I had Bartche Miller from the Mono Lake Committee come give an amazing talk on the geology and natural history of the Sierra Nevada.

Ellery Lake and Ellery Bowl.

Painting on the shore of Lake George. Because of the record snowfall this year there was still a huge amount of snow on the ground above 9000 ft. Some of the lakes I was planning on taking the group were still frozen over and under 8 feet of snow and probably wont be open till the end of July.

Mono county is one of the least populated counties in California, there are no cities nearby to cause light pollution, this makes for an amazing night sky.

After a day of painting we went down to South Tufa at Mono Lake to watch the sunset. Cody was the only one with the energy to pull off another painting.

After the last day of the workshop we relaxed with some wine at hilltop hotsprings.

My workshop demos.
