Abstract Mixed Media Painting And
​Collage Workshop
​Nanaimo, BC


We are celebrating the 20th anniversary of Vancouver Island Art Workshops this May! 

I invite you to join me for a fun-filled five days as we explore mark-making, printing, painting and collage. Playfully experiment and embrace the creative process. 

There will be guided exercises along with lessons on color mixing, value, composition, the elements and principles of design and more.  We'll put the "fun" into the fundamentals.  Many of these are things I wish I had known about earlier on.

Short demo's will be based on abstract and nonobjective painting but the lessons apply to all painting styles.
​We won't be busting out the text books or holding exams but you will gain some valuable information, along with many tips and techniques disguised as fun.  

​We begin each day with quick warm-ups, some that focus on color and design while others will result in numerous painting starts and/or collage papers.  ​ We willl explore different approaches to beginning a painting using painting prompts and more.  
You will work on both square and rectangular substrates which may be designed and hung as individual pieces, diptychs or triptychs.
​​There will be plenty of time to paint and for group critique.  So if you're looking for some serious play time with a small group of like minded artists, then I look forward to seeing you in May! 
House paint, varnish, collage papers etc. along with 3 cradled wood panels included.
Required:  A small supply list will be emailed 6 weeks prior to commencement.
