Through a series of exercises we will explore plein-air painting techniques that enable us to capture the important elements of a landscape in a short period of time. While doing so we will learn to create paintings with impact by focusing on value sketches and design.

Plein Air Painting with Brigitte Desbois

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.

Location: Kootenay Lake – Artist Retreat – 8923 Meadow St, Balfour, BC, V0G 1C0
