William Rogers – Watercolour Figure in the Landscape

/by

Date: September 9 to 11, 2104

Location: Bear Valley Highlands in the Okanagan near Vernon.

Cost: $390

Description:

This workshop will focus on including figures into your landscapes in a believable way. It will start with some practical theory on the topic and develop into practicing figures in watercolour paint, then incorporating these figures into the landscape as part of the composition. The idea is to have a landscape with figures rather than a portrait, so gesture drawing will be emphasized to help achieve a natural, unposed look in the work. The artist will demonstrate and have a model to use for the demonstrations and class work. There will be lots of individual help and constructive critiques to help your work improve to a new level.

Rocky Mountains with Jerry Markham

/by

Instructor: Jerry Markham
Date: July 19-22, 2013 & July 22-25, 2013
Location: Okanagan Valley
Cost: $600 + tax

In this workshop we will follow in the footsteps of master painters, such as John Singer Sargent, Carl Rungius and J.E.H. MacDonald, through their travels of the Canadian Rockies, painting at Bow Lake, Lake O’Hara and Moraine Lake.

At Bow Lake we will paint in the same places as Carl Rungius, to study what he saw and why it is important to study the masters to better understand our own work. At Lake O’Hara we will stand at Sargent’s Point and paint one of the most beautiful, and most painted, places on earth. Painters from around the world have come to paint and study these wonders of mother nature. We will study the works of some of these artists and then learn to create our own interpretation of these majestic places.

You will receive a lot of helpful info and tips on landscape painting, plein air painting, and how to paint mountains, as well as on painting techniques such as creating compelling compositions, working with values, edges, color, and more.

Length: 3 days + evening presentation and meet & greet
