  • Painting: Bring Colour to the Next Level

    This workshop is for people with some experience using colour but would like to bring their knowledge to a deeper level. You will learn to use colour with more intention and control by understanding its underlying principles more fully. We will explore the inter-relationship of value, hue, and chroma and examine how our perception of colour is affected by surrounding colours. Exercises include translucent and opaque applications, glazing, colour palette-creation, and different kinds of colour contrasts. While both oil and acrylic painters are encouraged to participate, demos will be given using acrylic paint. Some experience with painting and colour is recommended. See supply list. SATURDAY & SUNDAY, JULY 25 & JULY 26, 10AM - 4:30PM(PDT) IN-PERSON

  • Paint Like an Artist II

    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

  • Drawing: Urban Perspectives

    In this drawing workshop, you will learn the theory behind one-, two-, and three-point perspective and then how to adapt these ideas to two-dimensional depictions of the three-dimensional world. The focus of the drawing projects will be on the urban environment so you will learn a range of drawing techniques and materials to depict buildings, streets, and interiors. This workshop will be helpful for those wanting to do quick urban sketches as well as those who would like to make drawings that focus on architecture, both outside and inside. Suitable for all levels. See supply list. SATURDAY & SUNDAY, JULY 04 & JULY 05, 10AM - 4:30PM(PDT) IN-PERSON
