It is often said that in painting, colour gets all the glory while value does all the heavy lifting…So true!

Location: Gibson’s School of the Arts, Gibson’s, BC, (at High Beam Dreams) (map)
Cost: Early Bird $500; $550 after February 25
More Information:
Value (think grey scale) is truly the bones of a painting, and in this workshop you will learn how to strengthen your image by utilizing the concept of Notan* and then pair that with strong brushwork/mark-making. In essence, by removing the complex and emotional layer of color, you can focus on demystifying the landscape.
*Notan is a Japanese term that refers to the arrangement of dark and light elements in a painting.

More Information:
“Plein Air Painting is a truly magical experience! My goal when painting Plein Air is to translate the over abundance of info into a simplified and more impressionistic rendering. On this painting tour my goal is to help students zero in on strong composition / design while capturing the essence, light and beauty of the area. I encourage artists to paint what speaks to them whether it’s a grand vista or a more simple subject. Each student will receive positive instruction at whatever level they’re at.
Sharing my skills with others is so rewarding and brings me great joy! I want this to be a fun, positive experience for all who come!
Beginner to advanced painters welcome.”
