This oil painting workshop will explore devotion to the Eucharist as expressed through the 17th century Altar Niche paintings. Through the course of the week, artists will be guided in creating a master copy of one of these works (ex. “Altar Niche with Symbols of the Eucharist with Flowers and Fruit” by Kessel), learning concepts and developing skills needed for still life and floral painting. In getting to know the historical context, as well as the theological content of these paintings, artists will develop an understanding of their significance in the past and their continued value in the present.
Infused with prayer opportunities, the 5-day workshop will offer a retreat experience exploring the Eucharist as “the source and summit of Christian Life” (Lumen
Gentium 11).

This week-long workshop’s studio time lasts five consecutive days. Check in begins Sunday night at 4:30. Dinner is served at 5:30 pm for students and instructors. Dinner is followed by a workshop introduction and conference, which ends at 9:00 pm. Hands-on instruction begins early Monday morning. The entire workshop ends Friday at 1 PM.
