SUMMARY:Portraiture in Oils and Acrylics
DESCRIPTION:Do you have some basic skills in drawing faces and some experience with oils or acrylics? This class will help you take the next step towards confidence with creating portraits using photographic reference. We’ll review the basics like proportions\, composition\, lighting\, etc. and then explore more in-depth practice such as underpainting\, skin tones\, likeness and personal style. I’ll share what tricks I have found useful over the years and we’ll also have a look at how a few of the Masters accomplished their pieces. This short five-week course should get you navigating paint a bit better for your own independant work. Give me a call at (250) 337-5487 if you’d like more information.

SUMMARY:Wading into Chalk Pastels
DESCRIPTION:Did you know that some of the most accomplished and famous artists in history used chalk pastels for sketching and finished works of art? Chalk pastels can be simple or complicated\, portable or cumbersome\, heavy-handed or light and airy. They marry well with other mediums and can express fine detail or swaths of raw colour. They are surface-sensitive and layer well when treated with care. Intrigued? Come and find out more and try your hand at a few simple pieces in this 4-day spring workshop that will have you set for some serious summer sketching!
