Plein Air Painting with Brigitte Desbois

/by

Welcome to Kootenay Lake – Artist Retreat!

Nestled 300 ft from the lake shore, we have access to breathtaking scenery right at the door step. Each day, we will explore a different location along the lake.

I have often heard students ask: “How do I pick my subject matter and how do I know it will make a good painting?” In this workshop we will explore the most important aspects of a good foundation for a successful painting. Aspects will include choosing your subject, design concept, color schemes and brushwork.
