Painting Nature
You are invited to take part in my summer art course called PAINTING NATURE. In this sensitive & creative space you will have the opportunity to consider ideas around the internal nature of the body as well as the abundant natural environment on Vancouver Island. Daily demonstrations will encompass a range of methods that could be used to depict or embody nature. For example, the process of making acrylic skins could be used literally to collage the skin of a figure. I also want to show you about extending drying time so you can go outside & paint plein air. There is a beautiful stand of trees & a breezeway where you could set up. I will share some of my favourite local forest walks where we can observe, forage & paint. There are some sweet spots nearby for beach combing too. Collected objects may make their way onto the canvas in surprising ways. I want each artist to work on a life-sized (4x6 ft) painting on raw canvas where elements from your imagination will take shape. The subject matter will be an embodied expression of how you see yourself ~ Painting Nature ~

Painting BOUNDARIES
I'm curious about how ideas around boundaries could play out on a painting. How would one express porous verses solid boundaries? What techniques could be employed in painting to represent private & public space both physically & emotionally? Through personal reflection, sharing & experimentation we will delve into these questions. Guided by this overarching theme, the workshop is an opportunity to grow your painting practice as you consider your own boundaries, how to make them and when to soften.
