Support Art = Receive Art!!
My name is Conni Reinecke, an artist from Bonney Lake, WA. I am wanting to share a great adventure while giving you an opportunity to receive some great art in return for your support of this "Paint Alaska" journey and painting series!!
While I have always had a love for art, creating and painting, I primarily work with watercolor. I also enjoy mixed media art with ink, pastels and acrylic. Art and creating have always been my passion!
I am making this “Paint Alaska” project a personal challenge for myself and want to invite you to be a part of it with me. If you feel you would like to become a supporter, donations of any amount are more than appreciated! In return for your support of this adventure, I have numerous incentives at various donation levels listed below.
This FundRazr project and the Great Alaskan Plein Air Retreat is an amazing trip which involves checking off 3 things off my bucket list!
1.This is a week-long artist retreat with personalized instruction from 3 amazing featured artists and 3 wonderful guest artists many of whom I have wanted to meet and study with for some time. How great is it that all these amazing artists are going to be in one place!!
2. The home of this artist retreat is on a Princess Alaskan Cruise Ship- a dream come true to travel up the Canadian coastline and explore the beautiful Alaskan coast.
3. Arranged in this retreat is a full week of painting both from shipside and port excursions! This is an experience I had hoped for for a long time and now I have an opportunity to make this a reality! In addition, I want to share this tremendous experience with you directly through my paintings.
My project plan is to create a series of 6 or more original paintings titled “The Paint Alaska Series” based on my learning experiences. Every aspect of creating this series and getting to paint “en plein air” in AK will be a new challenge in which it will help me grow in my artistic journey. If you would like first choice to own my original watercolors from this series, you have the opportunity to do so as one of the levels of supporting this project.
The participating guest artists whom I will have the privilege of working with and the opportunity to learn from during this trip include: Michelle Dunaway, Daniel Keys, Catherine Gill, Larry Seiler, Jennifer Bowman and Sandra Strohschein. More information on these talented artists, their artwork and art instruction can be found on their websites. Also a huge thank you to the painted ladies as they are the organizers of this great event!!
In closing, you may be a supporter for any amount you would like with art incentives offered at all levels even starting at $1. Your donation(s) will help cover the Artist Retreat Fee, classes and art supply costs for both the trip and the “Paint Alaska” series. Please see all details described below for the cost breakdown of this adventure. You may contact me directly with any questions I may answer for you. Any support in my art endeavor is greatly appreciated and I thank you for your time viewing my FundRazr project!!
