Painting Explorations - February

Discover new approaches to colour mixing, glazing, brush work and more!

Course Summary

Join me in this course designed for open and curious painters, where we will be exploring colour mixing, brush work, glazing, etc., while drawing inspiration from the renowned Group of Seven and other influential artists.

 Learn fun and simple ways to create work that is looser and more painterly.  
Discover essential practices to bring your paintings to the next level fast.  
Find out the negative beliefs that will hold you back every time.  

The final class's subject will be chosen by the students themselves, offering a personalized touch to the sessions. Each class presents the opportunity for you to take home a completed painting.  

With a small class size of only 4 students, you can expect individualized attention and valuable feedback as we navigate through the painting process together.  

Come and paint with me at my cozy ocean view studio in Qualicum Beach for a fun and rewarding artistic experience!

For ten years, I've immersed myself in acrylic painting, finding joy in imperfection and the fusion of diverse artistic styles. As an Exhibiting member of the Federation of Canadian Artists since 2021, my work has been shown in numerous juried exhibits. My passion lies in painting, and I'm eager to inspire both beginning and intermediate artists as they bring their visions to life.

Absolutely not! In this painting class, drawing skills are not a prerequisite. Painting is its own art form, and the techniques we'll cover don't rely heavily on drawing expertise. Whether you're a beginner or not confident in drawing, the class will guide you through painting techniques that don't necessitate advanced drawing skills. It's about exploring painting as a unique mode of expression, welcoming all skill levels to create beautiful art.

My classes have a maximum capacity of 6 students, allowing for a cozy and intimate environment.

Children 12 and older are welcome as long as they are taking the class with another painter aged 18 or more.
