Register A course designed for artists with painting experience that are wishing to ‘move on up’ with their art. We will be trying different compositions, different palettes, and different sizes of canvasses. We will mainly be working from photos, but in a painterly manner. One objective for this course is to take either a photo, and do a small ‘little gem’ in a short time, or take a plein air painting and try larger canvas – a fear a lot of artists have. Moving on up so to speak. We will touch on topics that always give artists trouble – colour and value, composition, perspective, and loosening up. Come join this friendly, relaxed class. Class demonstrations based on your input, time to work on your own subjects, a chance to challenge yourself!

Register The mysterious, elusive Georgia O’Keeffe moved from New York to a solitary artistic life in the desert of New Mexico. Captivated by the sacred landscape, she responded with large intimate images of flowers and the landscape, powerful metaphors of life. Looking at how she lived her own myth, the methods and techniques of her painting process, you will learn to design and paint in her style. Media of choice. All levels.

Register Let’s add zest, depth and fun to your watercolours! Negative painting is a unique approach of painting around an object to define the shape and create very interesting patterns in the composition. The purposeful use of negative painting can bring a new level of depth to your work. The technique will be taught through various exercises in the first half session and then, students will be encouraged to create their own piece of work using all the techniques learned.
