Introduction to Drawing is a six-week workshop focusing on drawing expression through the basics of line, shape, form and volume. Students will learn to free up their marks on paper while exploring with different dry mediums beyond graphite. Students will take part in a weekly project based on the fundamentals of elements and design, observe demonstrations and take part in group critiques.

This workshop is offered Monday evenings from 7:00pm - 9:00pm starting on July 8, 2019. Spaces are limited and registration will close one week prior to the start date.

Starting Out in Watercolour is a four-session workshop for beginners designed to lay down a solid foundation for you to work with the medium and help you produce exquisite works. The workshop includes painting exercises involving various subjects, and each session will build upon the one before it. Whether you are a beginner or a seasoned watercolour artist who wants a review and to loosen up, this four-session workshop is for you. This workshop is held on Wednesday mornings starting May 8, 2019 from 10:00am - 1:00pm.

Landscapes in Watercolour is a four-session workshop for intermediate to advanced watercolour artists who are looking to apply new techniques, experiment with colours and delve into design and composition. You will come out of your comfort zone, shake things up and in the process paint inspired paintings that will thrill and excite. This workshop is held on Friday mornings and starts May 10, 2019 from 10:00am - 1:00pm.

Make Your Own Watercolours is a single day workshop that is a deep dive into colour and pigments and how to make watercolor paints that are above artist grade. Pigment saturation, medium mixes and character development will be our focus as well as building our own unique blends and signature colours. Students will go home with a palette of twelve colours. This workshop is held on Saturday May 25, 2019 from 2:30pm - 7:30pm.
