Location: Jasper, AB

Costs: $425 early enrollment (paid in full before May 20) or $435 after May 20.

Instructor: Jerry Markham

Description:

In this three-day workshop we will work through the importance of a dynamic composition, strong value scheme, driving depth with aerial perspective, the use of edges and forceful colour. Capitalizing on these ideas we will then take a look at how to utilize them to free our creativity and compose compelling paintings.
