ILLUMINISM represents a small,
but significant development 
in the American Watercolor Painting tradition.

The Transcendalist school of American Painting as
inspired by R.W. Emerson (1802-1882)
bears a philosophical relationship to Illuminism. 
This school of painters was based
upon a philosophy emphasizing the trinity of
God, Man and Nature.

Veil Painting is a style of painting based on a technique
using large transparent, fluid, layers of superimposed color
in which the movement of color supercedes the element of form.
However, it is not only a style and technique, but an enduring philosophy of painting
which harmonizes perception, reason and intuition. It is relevant not only to fine arts,
but also to filming, art therapy, lazure wall painting, education, and inner development.

Workshop Participant Comments

Dear Leszek:

For all your incredible efforts to share with us the genius of Illuminism
and help us unfold this path of painting in its deepest most earnest
essence to the practical techniques, our warmest
loving thanks and appreciation!  Julie


Thank you for sharing and demonstrating your considerable gifts
in our group over these last three years. You have unveiled the
mysteries of veiling -- to my gratitude. And yet, there remains
infinite mysteries. I hope you'll keep painting . . . and
that I can begin! 
Love, Anne

"My heartfelt thanks for all that you've shared with us these past 3 years.
I feel it's been my next important work, and often the saving grace of a
difficult transitional time. I look forwad to developing it more.
With love and blessings, Pam

Thank you for the many gifts you have given me. You have opened
a whole new world of the unveiled.  I have enjoyed your humor
in this sometimes overwhelming endeavor. I will always be grateful
for sharing yourself. Love, Mary Anne
