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

Event Details :
Enjoy early summer en plein air in this fun and inspiring course, and add to your painting repertoire. During this four-day plein air course, Nicola Tibbetts will offer demonstrations and individual critiques, helping you improve your skills and find your individual voice in landscape painting. Open air oil painting presents unique challenges to the artist as the changing light and unpredictable conditions require a specific technical approach in execution. This course will help you to render the essence of a scene through acute observation both intellectual and emotional. Course will include off-site classes that will be determined by the group during the first on-campus class.
Supply List:
Please come prepared with a set of oil paints which include: burnt sienna, burnt umber, yellow ochre, titanium white, ultramarine blue, cadmium yellow (middle), cadmium red (middle). If you have a transportable easel please bring it as well. We will supply solvent, medium, brushes, canvases, rags etc but please bring your own if you have a specific tool you like to work with.

Paint Campobello – Plein Air Painting Workshops with Michael Chesley Johnson
Instructor:Michael Chesley Johnson Date: July to September, 2013 Time: N/A Location: New Brunswick Cost: $300 (not including lodging)
Michael Chesley Johnson is once again offering his popular plein air painting workshops from July into September at his summer studio on Campobello Island in New Brunswick, Canada. These workshops are a real treat for the student because they are small in size – typically no more than four students – and offer some of the best Maritime scenery anywhere.
Campobello Island is home to the 3,000-acre Roosevelt-Campobello International Park, which was recently featured on CBS Sunday Morning, and to the Herring Cove Provincial Park. The parks offer quiet beaches, bold cliffs and meadows edged with apple trees, and elsewhere on Campobello and in neighboring Lubec, Maine, the painter will find fishing villages and lighthouses.
Michael schedules two types of workshops. He gives workshops for any level of student in which the fundamentals of plein air painting are taught, and also workshops for advanced painters where the finer points of the painting process are discussed. Additionally, he is happy to serve as a guide or mentor for the advanced painter seeking a retreat. Workshops cost $300 for four half-days. They run half-days allowing the painter to paint on his own, if desired, or to explore the area’s many recreational opportunities with family or friends. Although Michael will paint in oil or pastel, students are welcome to bring any medium.
Michael also offers a similar program in the Red Rock country of Sedona, Arizona, from October into April. For details, visit www.PaintSedona.com.
Michael Chesley Johnson is a plein air painter working in the American Southwest, coastal Maine and the Canadian Maritimes. He has been an Invited Artist at the Sedona Plein Air Festival for the past 6 years (2006-2011) and in 2011 also participated in the Plein Air Southwest, Grand Canyon National Park and Zion National Park invitationals. In 2012, he is an Invited Artist for both Plein Air Magazine’s Plein Air Expo & Convention and again for the Grand Canyon event. Additionally, he is a Contributing Editor for The Artist’s Magazine and a frequent contributor to Pastel Journal. He also specializes in teaching small-size plein air painting workshops and has many books and instructional videos available.
