2016 Artists in Residence
project at Cherokee
Ranch and Castle, Sedalia, CO
This
year the RMSBA is the featured Artist in Residence at the Cherokee Ranch and
Castle, on spectacular Cherokee Ridge near Sedalia, Colorado. Beginning in
March and continuing through autumn, members can participate in scheduled
twice-monthly opportunities to hike the grounds, take reference photos, sketch,
draw, and paint the interesting and beautiful plants. Each session will feature
a special guide to take you to different areas of the Ranch, and a botanical
map showing where particular plants of interest reside and what they look like.
In
addition to access to the great outdoor scenery and foliage, we hope that the Castle
itself may make available a small space for a learning studio to demonstrate useful
techniques and discuss our experiences on the grounds. The Colorado Plein Aire artists come twice monthly to
CR&C to paint the incredible scenery, so RMSBA members will be able to
interact with those landscape artists during the joint visits.
In
December, this three-season exploration of the large and small in the Cherokee
Ridge landscape culminates in a grand art show at the Castle for the holidays. The
exhibit will display all Cherokee Ranch artists’ works done in 2016, including plein aire, photographic, and botanical
art contributions.
This
opportunity is free to RMSBA members. As the ground thaws, you will be able to use
the Cherokee Ranch and Castle website to sign-up for each particular session… details
coming. We anticipate a wonderful experience for all who join in.
A
schedule of all sessions for the year will soon be available. Here are the
first few sessions to add to your calendar: March 2, 16, 30; April 13, 27; all
sessions are 9 am - 4 pm.
For any
questions, please contact Kirk Pfeffer at kirk.pfeffer@comcast.net.
