Bear Valley Highlands Art WorkshopJune 23-25Lumby, BC
There are some unexpected openings in this workshop and I'm hoping you'll fill them up! We'll cover a lot of ground from color to composition to brushwork, and I guarantee that there will be revelations that you can carry into your own painting practise, no matter what your usual genre.
This workshop will focus on simplifying your subject to its essence, and discovering how a little precision can go a long way.
You’ll learn to design your paintings to create harmonious, coherent, and balanced compositions that address the age-old dilemma of “what to do with the background”. By using a shape and color based approach to composition, you’ll begin to see the canvas space in a whole new way; one which stresses unity in tone and colour, and which recognizes that each mark has a role to play in the final painting.
And you’ll explore two different ways to begin a painting: from logical and structured to intuitive and abstract.
All the while, you'll be enjoying the hospitality of a beautiful retreat facility nestled in the wilds of interior BC. Our hosts have a well-deserved reputation for excellent meals and comfortable accommodation in their on-site log chalets, so you can step out of your daily routine and spend 3 days solely devoted to your artistic development.

I hope to see you there!
