SACRA/PROFANA presents: "L.O.S.T.": Featuring Jason Carl Rosenberg’s "L.O.S.T." along with Thomas Tallis’ "Lamentations of Jeremiah'" Five centuries apart, two companion pieces engage in dialogue across centuries. Thomas Tallis’ “Lamentations of Jeremiah” intertwines with Jason Carl Rosenberg’s bold composition, “L.O.S.T.,” a meditation on grief and renewal. Renaissance polyphony dissolves into modern harmonies, reemerging in an unforgettable performance of timeless music made urgent, intimate, and profoundly human. SACRA/PROFANA on Facebook / Instagram

Tuesday–Thursday, 10 a.m. – 4 p.m. March 25 – 27 (3 Days, 18 total hours of instruction) La Jolla Studio Geoff begins all classes with lessons in watercolor handling, notably the relationship between brush mixture and paper moisture and the concept of connection. During the daily demonstrations, the class will cover color mixing, brush handling, and contour drawing skills. Painting from life gives you the opportunity to observe directly from nature different forms of light and surfaces. There will be a focus on impressionistic interpretations of fruit and flowers through the use of watercolor techniques to express form: wet on wet, wet on dry, dry brushing, splattering, lifting, and most importantly adding water. Ideally students will learn to see nature in a new way. Materials: Geoff will share a materials list after registration.
