2nd Annual BBT Inspired Art Seminar New Vrindaban, September 19th through 28th, 2011
Quote by His Divine Grace A C Bhaktivedanta Swami:
“The people today are fascinated by so much of the glimmering so-called beauty of the external energy, and there is necessity of seeing beautiful pictures of Krishna and His devotees and His pastimes, in order to attract them to the spiritual process. So this is a great service, and there is an urgent need for such paintings.”
A dynamic ten day mini- Art seminar taught by veteran ISKCON-BBT artists Dhriti Dasi and Ram Dasa Abhirama Das. Students should have basic drawing and painting experience. Dhriti and Ram Das are disciples of Srila Prabhupada with 36 yrs plus experience in painting Krsna Art who worked directly on Srila Prabhupada’s books and now wish to share their experience.
This course will help aspiring artists learn the basics of drawing, painting with figures, landscapes and be able to utilize it for transcendental painting. Everyone will have their own painting project to develop with the assistance of Ram Das and Dhrti. They offer behind the scenes` stories of BBT art production, sharing and discussing Srila Prabhupada’s view on Krishna art,which is enlivening and informative.
