I'll be teaching a three day workshop at the Victoria Art League on March , 2012 from 9:30-4:00 

 -WORKSHOP FOR 2012 !!!!    - THURSDAY - SATURDAY  -- MARCH 1-3rd  

This workshop is officially full as of July 20,2011...  we are taking a few names for the waiting list if you can come last minute.

$190 per student  if you are a Victoria Art League Member, and $220 for non members. (limit 18).   The Victoria Art league gallery room is a wonderful space to paint in - 100 year old building with wood floors and 14 foot ceilings... and some seedy history to boot!

The focus (as usual) will be "learning to see" what is really there, and attempting to "capture the essence" of what it is we are seeing.   I will provide 8x10 photographs to paint from (either landscape, or portrait - which ever you prefer) and the desire will be to paint a painting per day (9x12 -12x16) not worrying about finishing details but rather the "essence" of the subject.  I call these small paintings "study paintings" where we are more interested in expression and exploration than "finishing a gallery painting." 

I will demonstrate each day for 30-45 minutes as well.   Watching is often the best way to learn

Email me if you want to get on the list.   As of July 2011 there are 18 signed up. 

here is a link to google maps ... "A" is where the art league is.     You can use the same map to find hotels by typing "hotels" in the search window.    The north end of town has all the new hotels.   Comfort Inn is the nicer of the ones on the south side of town... but it is 20 -25 years old.
