I just wanted to let you know that I’m planning a couple of painting workshops in the spring: a reprise of my “Loosen Up!” workshop, and “The Language of Paint” workshop. This time you have an opportunity to work on your goals over 6 classes, which take place once a week. Please let any of your painter friends know about it. I look forward to seeing you there!
Please see below for details:
Loosen Up! Painting Workshop
This six-week session is for painters with some experience who are interested in creating more flow and energy in their work. Oil painters and acrylic painters can all benefit. Bring your ideas: photographic references, drawings, or a still life––the class is open-ended in terms of subject matter in order for you to push your own ideas and develop what interests you.
When: Tuesdays, 7-10 pm, April 26 – May 31
Where: 322B-1000 Parker St, Vancouver
Fee: $300.
Materials: Bring your paint supplies and a pre-gessoed canvas or hard support such as wood or MDF, both of which should be available at your local art supply store.
Easels and tables will be provided.
