This workshop will cover traditional and contemporary Chinese brush painting techniques including how to properly load water, ink, and colour onto the brush, and how to create a range of different brushstrokes. You will learn about the composition and aesthetic principles of Chinese painting. In addition, you will discover ways to create experimental textures using non- traditional methods on rice paper. The first part of the workshop will focus on flower painting; for the second part, you will be guided through traditional and contemporary approaches to landscape painting. The workshop will include demonstrations, lectures, PowerPoint presentations, and plenty of guided one-on-one instruction. Some painting experience is helpful but not required. Relax, let your brush flow with ink and colour on rice paper, and discover your own personal style. Suitable for all levels. All supplies included in tuition fee. SATURDAY & SUNDAY, AUG 08 & AUG 09, 10AM - 4:30PM(PDT) IN-PERSON

In Paint Like an Artist II, you will be introduced to a 21st century painter each week. We will review their specific approaches to subject matter as well as application of paint and process. There will be a weekly painting project based on this discussion. This is a great course for those who are curious to learn how early mid 20th century artists have influenced many contemporary painters. The course will also provide an excellent opportunity to push your painting practice in new directions. Participants can use oil, acrylic, gouache or watercolour. This course can be taken as a follow-up to Paint Like an Artist I, but it is not necessary to have taken the first one to enrol in the second part. New artists will be discussed so feel free to re-take this course. No class Aug 14, last class on August 21. Previous painting experience recommended. FRIDAYS, JUL 10 - AUG 21, 2PM - 5PM(PDT) ONLINE

This workshop uses the pastel flower drawings of Odilon Redon as a source of inspiration. You will learn to make dream-like, ethereal flowers that merge into a coloured background. The focus is on using pastel techniques to draw flowers and to connect these flowers to a dynamic and interesting surrounding area. The emphasis will be learning to see shapes and colour as well as positive and negative space. Participants will enjoy learning some art history and applying these ideas to their work. The projects will include both representational and abstract approaches. You will be working from real flowers, artists reproductions, and collage compositions. The beauty and excitement of soft pastels is their immediacy of use and the purity of the colours as they are almost pure pigment. Suitable for all levels. See supply list. SATURDAY & SUNDAY, JULY 18 & JULY 19, 1:30 - 4:30PM(PDT) IN-PERSON
