  • 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

  • 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
