This year I’ve chosen a very special venue for my summer plein air workshop this year.
The Tigh-Na-Mara Resort and Spa on Vancouver Island. It’s a pretty magical place set on 22 acres of forested ocean front with 3km of sandy beach.
The workshop will be on September 23, 24 & 25, 2024.
There will be a meet and greet/orientation on Monday the 23rd at 4pm (after your 3pm check in)
There will be two full days of plein air 9:30am - 3:30pm on the Tuesday and Wednesday,
with an optional farewell dinner on Wednesday night (after the last day of the workshop).
I have prebooked a few oceanview rooms with king bed on the 3rd (top floor) for the nights of Sept. 23, 24 & 25.
There is one room left available. Interested? Please contact me here:
There is an indoor swimming pool and hot tub to relax in the evenings.
There is also their world renowned Grotto Spa should you wish to indulge.
Here’s the link to their website: https://tigh-na-mara.com
The Workshop price is $325.00, with your food and accommodations separate.
Please let me know if you’d like to join me for this wonderful painting getaway!
Elevate Your Landscapes with Colour and Design
I will share my extensive knowledge with informative demonstrations, fun exercises and lively discussions.
In this two day workshop I will guide you through simple steps to creating better landscape paintings.
Working in the studio from reference photos you will learn how to translate good ideas from concept to canvas, focusing on colour & values and composition & design.
I will share my tips and techniques on:
Colour - working with a limited palette
- how to get the colours you want
- how to make interesting darks and grays
Design - working with thumbnails and value sketches
- how to translate what you want to paint into a well
thought out design
- how to crop & edit a scene for greater impact
