Plein aire on Sandpiper Beach, beginners and intermediate
In this two day workshop we will learn basics of painting a beautiful Hornby Island seascape. Using small canvas's and panels we will learn some simple techniques for developing confidence in painting. The morning's focus will be on observation of nature, its feelings and moods, setting up a palette, colour mixing and brush handling. We will go over how to paint clouds, sky's, rocks, trees etc. The rest of the time will be for painting..the best way to learn is just to paint!..I will be offering helpful suggestions and gentle critiquing!..At the end of the day we will have a little showing of each others work. Acrylics and oil. Please email me for a suggested supply list. Cost for two days is 195.00 one day 100.00. Credit cards, checks or cash welcome. Please bring a lunch or some food to share.
Plein Air Painting on beautiful Hornby Island. !
July and August.
These one day workshops are geared for any level but most suitable for fledgling painters looking for guidance in basics of colour mixing, composition, values, etc. We paint on small canvas's or panels as this helps with quicker less stressful approach to learning. Its really great to paint outdoors in such a beautiful peaceful landscape.
We will be meeting up on Sandpiper Beach parking lot. Acrylic and oil. email me coralmaybarclay@gmail.com for a suggested supply list if you like or just bring what you have) also Arbutus Arts at Fords Cove carries some art supplies. I will have a limited supply of small boards, and canvas's for purchase and outdoor easels.
Cost is $60.00 for each 2.5 hour class or $100.00 for 2 (prepaid) cash or credit cards accepted. Or $100.00 for a full day workshop.
I am open to suggestion for workshops or private classes in different locations (within reason!)
This summer we two friends decided to take plein aire painting classes togeather with Coral on Hornby Island. As inexperienced and beginning painters we were somewhat nervous about taking painting classes but Coral quickly put us at our ease and nurtured and encouraged us each step of the way. We were only planning on taking two classes but enjoyed those so much that we ended up taking six.
Coral is a great teacher. She was able to help us individually to focus on mixing colours, brush techniques, composition and looking at details of the landscape in a new way.
Hornby Island is such a beautiful and incredible place to do landscape painting. We went to different places and were able to have an experience that was rejuvinating as well as creative. It was also a lot of fun. We hope to take more classes with Coral in the future.
Thank you Coral for encouraging us and helping us to believe in ourselves as painters.
