Page Samis is a local artist with Signature Status of the Pastel Society of Canada. She is a professional pastel artist and represents Canada in many juried international exhibits around the world.
Recently she has turned her attention in pursuit of a personal vision by plein air painting in pastel. This new connection is her corner stone of textures, creation and harmonies of light. The energy, intensity of both figurative and landscapes are a result of her passion of direct study from life.

Location: LaHave, Nova Scotia (we will be painting in and around Lunenburg, LaHave, Mahone Bay, Petite Rivierie)
Costs: $550 Cdn + tax each
Description:
The workshops offer a good balance between friendly interchange and education. Days will include demonstrations, personal instruction, exercises, encouragement and positive critiques for personal growth.
For a fraction of the cost to paint with an instructor oversees, you can enjoy painting local landscapes on a beautiful retreat just outside of Fort Langley with this Vancouver artist workshop!
What could be better than painting all day in various beautiful settings, enjoying lunch with fellow artists, and ending each day as you choose, whether it be curled up with a book by the fireplace, relaxing with great company and wine, or going for a walk and enjoying the sunset?!
Due to the popularity of last year’s retreat, Lalita Hamill and Michael King have teamed up again and are expanding the program to include painting both plein air (outdoors) and figurative painting. If the weather is not conducive to plein air, we have access to a beautiful, spacious indoor room.
Participants can use any medium and will be provided with demos, personal instruction, and regular feedback in order to develop and hone their painting skills with respect to technique, composition, design, tonal values, col
