IN-PERSON WORKSHOP WITH JUSTINA SMITH - ACRYLIC & MIXED MEDIA
ACRYLIC AND MIXED MEDIA is for artists who are comfortable with working in acrylic and is not suitable for beginners. Justina will be taking participants through the steps that she uses in her own painting process to show us how to incorporate the use of patterned papers, tissue-like papers, and colored acrylic inks into our own painting process. The use of papers and inks in addition to the paint can add a wonderful variety of detail, depth and interest to a painting. Mixing the mediums of paper, paint and ink can help solve problems of where and when to add detail and how much, and can easily add interest to large areas of negative space that might otherwise seem daunting and problematic. This workshop is perfect for artists willing to experiment and try new things. This particular approach to painting is very layered, so participants will have time to think of what their approach might be in each layer. This process lends itself well to both careful planning and spontaneity. Includes demos, individual attention, and some supplies, for a value of $25., which are included in the price.
Please bring your own reference material, either architecture or landscape.
Location: in-person CALGARY
Dates: October 21 & 22, 2022
Price: $295.

Online - nOVEMBER 10-12, 2022 Exploring the limited color palette - Choosing the right colors to work with can be a "Payne's (Gray)" and learning how to mix the is an important part to creating a solid painting. This online workshop is best suited for experienced beginner to intermediate and advanced painters. We will look at three different limited color palettes and use each one for three different images that are provided by the instructor. The three palettes are: Primary Variation (Earth tone colors), Secondary Color and the Zorn Palette. Being limited in color can produce suprising results and can help us in creating more harmonious color in our paintings. Sam will be doing his demos in acrylic or oil, however, the workshop is open to artists working in watercolor as well. A demo will be done each day and this will be recorded so that students can watch later up to a 2-week period. Constructive criticism, encouragement and puns are also included. Join us for a colorful learning experience. This workshop will be recorded, and it will be available to all students for two weeks after the workshop is over. The workshop will run from 10:00 am until 1:00 pm, Mountain Time, and we will be meeting on Zoom. Dates: November 10-12, 2022 From 10:00 to 1:00 pm Mountain Time Price: $260.

ZOOM WORKSHOP WITH BRIAN BUCKRELL - BUILDING ON FUNDAMENTALSThis six-session weekend Zoom workshop is designed for those that have progressed beyond the true beginner stage and are already comfortable with their medium and have an early understanding of the fundamentals of painting. We will spend two days each focusing on three important fundamentals: value and shape, color, and perspective/composition. The first day of each weekend will include a presentation and the use of exercises that we will do together. On the second day of each weekend we will make two painting "starts" together that build on the fundamentals being covered.
Participants will be encouraged to paint along as I do my demos. Participants will be encouraged to join a follow-up Facebook group for sharing and discussing. The exercises will be done with acrylics - but other mediums are accepted. Brian will use image-editing software to manage photos to make interesting reference material and will use digital drawing software for planning. Students do not have to purchase or use these programs. Workshop notes will be provided and the workshop will be recorded for additional viewing. There will be lots of learning and lots of fun! Dates: Six mornings in November & December 2022 - . November 19 & 20, 26 & 27, and December 3 & 4. from 10 am to 1 pm Pacific Time Price: $325.00 See his website at www.brianbuckrell.com To see the full info and to register for this workshop click here. |
