Sarah Kidner SFCA - 3 Day Workshop

(This is an oil painting workshop using odourless mineral spirits. Acrylic painters wishing to attend and paint in acrylics are more than welcome to participate)

Learn to paint “alla prima” in oils. This is a fast and direct method of painting usually resulting in a completed painting in one sitting. Explore the lusciousness of painting in oils as we create paintings “wet in wet”. Emphasis will be placed on creating a strong design, identifying value relationships, and creating colour harmony. Demos and individual counseling will be provided to help students as they develop their own personal styles. All levels of experience welcome although some painting experience would definitely be an asset.

$225 for Nanaimo chapter members
$250 for non chapter members.
A $30 non refundable deposit is required for Nanaimo chapter members and a $50 non refundable deposit for non members.

Harold Allanson will be available to register and take deposits from interested artists at the March 8th chapter meeting. Other interested artists not attending the meeting can contact Harold at:

•see workshop info, above

This is an opportunity to take a couple of days to play with seasonal images in watercolour or acrylic and turn complex images into successful 5 - 7" paintings. These small images make ideal gifts or greeting cards. To make that easy, we're supplying envelopes and / or mats so you have a painting ready to give or ready to hang at the close of the workshop.

Space is limited but there is room for a few more.
