Description

Solomon's knot (aka 'Solomon's seal) is a traditional decorative motif used since ancient times and found in many cultures; mosaic floors in Italy, stone mosaics in ancient synagogues, mosques in Cairo, African beadwork in crowns and masks, Central Asian prayer rugs, leaded glass windows in Moorish Spain, and now in Colorado! The Solomon knot we are painting is from a manuscript written during the Golden Age of Spain when Spain was conquered by the Moors. The artistic Islamic influence has unique and interesting decorative elements that gracefully provide us with additional painting opportunities. I’ll be painting along with you, step by step. My document camera will be way down low so you can see me demonstrating Chiaroscuro. It’s the classic painting technique of seamlessly shading and blending made popular in the Renaissance by my boyfriend Leonardo Di Vinci. EARLY BIRD REGISTRATION by December 1, 2024 will receive a bonus knot template DEADLINE to register is January 4, 2025
