Portraits in the Wild is an exciting opportunity to extend and grow your portrait and landscape painting skills. On Saturday, we will work outdoors with a model to set various photo opportunities under natural lighting and do reference drawings of the model and the location, including value and colour studies. A good phone or camera and a simple photo editing program on your home computer are requirements for this activity. On Sunday, students will work in the studio to develop their painting using the reference materials gathered. Some knowledge of working en plein air or from live models is a good starting point.

Tom Thomson was the painter of many of Canada’s most iconic artworks. His experiments in colour and technique resulted in vibrant groundbreaking works such as The Jack Pine and The West Wind.  In this workshop, we’ll learn about Tom Thomson, his working methods, and paint a homage to Tom Thomson’s piece (or pieces).  Apart from working from a specific Thomson painting, students have the option of painting from an image they provide which they will paint in the Thomson style. The suggested medium is acrylic (or oil).

Materials: Bring art supplies and supports you already have. Include water container, rags, acrylic/oil brushes, one canvas or more, 11”x 14” approximately, and/or paper.

Romero Britto is one of the most collected pop artists in the world. We can bring a little of his love and sunshine into our lives by imitating and exploring his style. We will create a painted piece of his in the morning to familiarize ourselves with his genre of painting and in the afternoon we will work to create our own Romero Britto piece.

Frequent requests in watercolour classes have encouraged me to offer this workshop on the subject of water. Water presents itself in so
many ways – everything from crashing breakers to hypnotizing wave patterns to still water with reflections. In this class, we’ll learn specific techniques and practice samples of a variety of water surfaces and actions.

Some reference photos will be provided, but feel free to bring any favourite water pictures you might have. Among your usual watercolour supplies, be sure to include masking fluid, a pointy blade such as an Exacto knife or craft knife, an old toothbrush, and a bit of natural sea sponge.
