Aug 26, 2019 to Aug 30, 2019 - Abstracting the Figure

Have you ever wanted to take the essence of the figure and present it in a way that is sensual and thought provoking? When you are abstracting the figure you don’t have to worry about anatomy but are more concerned about shapes, value and color.

Held at Gwen Fox’s private Art Sanctuary in Taos, New Mexico.  Her 100-year-old adobe home is the perfect environment to inspire and renew your creativity.

There will be private critiques that empower, glorious breakthroughs while basking in a safe environment in which to grow as an artist.

This workshop will fill fast. Limited to 10 artists. Each artist will have their own table.

Aug 31, 2019 to Sep 5, 2019 - Art Retreat in Killarney Ontario

Six days in the Near North of Ontario Canada. Killarney and the La Cloche Mountains were a favourite location the Group of Seven visited to paint. Rugged, with granite cliffs thrusting hundreds of feet out of the water. Northern forest, islands, bald rocks and only accessible by boat. We travel to most locations on a sturdy pontoon boat. Whether it’s setting up on a rock face, a low lying island, or sitting at the base of a waterfall, every view is worth capturing. You stay in rustic cabins, each with its own cooking facilities. There is a large room we can paint in if the weather turns against us. Your instructor is Keith Thirgood who has been teaching adults to paint for 12 years. He will show you a step by step approach to painting en plein air, which makes capturing a scene easier than you might have thought possible. He’ll also teach Modern Colour Theory with a limited palette, which makes colour mixing easy.
