Italian recipes painting workshops 2019Offers a simple and innovative way of cooking based on color harmonies that will help you release your creativity in the kitchen.
Cookbook by Yves M. Larocque and Mónica Márquez about to be launched

We just finished our fall art workshop in Tuscany and had a great time with our group of artists of all levels from Canada, Colombia, South Africa and the United States. We painted in beautiful spots in the Val di Chiana and the Val d’Orcia, learned about different art history and art theory topics, reflected on our personal artistic paths, enjoyed delicious meals and wines of the region and shared interesting discussions about art and life within an intimate and fun environment. No wonder many lifelong friendships are born in these workshops.

And this time again, our participants underlined the originality and tastiness of our meals. We were happy to tell everyone that all our recipes derive from our own method of cooking based on color harmonies. Ten years ago, here in Tuscany, we decided to write a recipe book but with so many good cookbooks in the market, we needed to propose a new idea. We had to find a modus operandi close to who we are and what we do as visual artists. The answer was in front of us and painting gave it to us: art and color! Why not applying color theory to our dishes in the same way we did to our paintings? So, we decided to develop an innovative method of cooking based on a wise combination of colors. After confirming that nothing had been written on the topic, we started our project and finally it is ready. The book surpassed our initial design. It is a concept book, a beautiful book on art, art history and food. Read more at: https://theartistswayofcooking.com/

Who are we?

We all make art! It is part of culture. It is deeply rooted in human nature as a way of communicating with others. We all need to tell our stories because it is stories that link us all. We are all one, one creative mind! Though, all unique and equipped with unique ways of expressing ourselves. We live in constant search of that unique liberating voice. At Walk the Arts we aim to facilitate our art makers to explore new territories. Our painting classes and art history trips on three continents are meant to be rounded art experiences among small groups of like-minded adults. We offer an environment that fosters creativity. As we always say, art as religion is just a matter of faith. This blog is about living fully the experience of art, about finding our single artistic path, about the joy of art-making. We believe that making art accessible to all will lead to a betterment of our society.

“On Painting” by Gilles Deleuze

 

A blank canvas is a space brimming with possibilities—“a painting to be made,” as Cézanne wrote. It is what Deleuze calls the “catastrophe”—nothing can be seen, yet everything is there as if one were trapped in the eye of a storm. And from this catastrophe, one must find a way out: the very first stroke, a scribble, clichés to be destroyed, “forms that fade away”; erasing, starting over; “the hand, freed from the eye, runs wild,” and then—there! “The color rises,” and so on until the final work emerges.
