A collection of artworks derived from common resource material to showcase the variety of interpretations by the artists of Flying Colours Artists Association. This is one of our favorite shows of the year, not to be missed.

CANCELLED _ Pastels are one of the most immediate and satisfying mediums to work in. They can produce intense, vivid colours or soft and subtle shades. In this workshop you will be able to experience different techniques using colour and composition that will add atmosphere and depth to your paintings. There will be demos and plenty of one on one instruction. Joyce will demo on Sanded paper and Suede Board. Whether you are just beginning or an intermediate pastelist you will be able to develop your skills in this class and create a good working foundation for continuing your work at home. Catch the enthusiasm of pastel and work on your own reference material in this class or use the picture being demonstrated. No previous experience is necessary.

I wish to thank Holy from the Friends for updates and keeping me informed. I hope that my art will uplift in these times.

“Creativity is not something we ever lose, but rather something that has just been overlooked, possibly relegated years ago to a still, unused corner of our being. However, it still remains quietly within us all, patiently waiting, just below the surface of things. Till now.”

— Nicholas Wilton

Come experience an Art2Life Workshop, designed for the absolute beginner or seasoned artist, and get inspired, again. I started the Art2Life Creative Visionary Program on February 27, 2020 after following a FREE online WORKSHOP where Nicholas took us through the first 3 Principles of Art—Design, Value & Colour. I couldn’t wait to learn more, and little did I know, it wasn’t just information we’d be getting out of this workshop, but really getting below the surface and discovering what inspires us, what we desire, and looking at our artwork from the past, present and where we imagine going in the future!

This is a 12 week online program and by the end of it I will have had an opportunity to use acrylic paints, instead of watercolour, and hopefully will be producing art that REALLY REFLECTS WHO I AM! Pretty exciting!

Two of my paintings were accepted in the Annexe Gallery. They will be shown sometime in the next year, but you may ask to see them if you wish at any time. They are square, 20" x 20" and use gold leaf and oil and cold wax. I have posted one of them above, 'Bedrock III', and you can see the other on my website, 'Bedrock !V'

Judith is interested in the potential for interactions between Art and Science. She and partner Mike enthusiastically support the endeavors of the Perimeter Institute, Waterloo, Ontario. Eight of Judith's paintings have been accepted into the Perimeter Institute's art collection and installed in various venues within the Perimeter.

A push is a pull.
Now isn't that grand?
So then a pull is a push.
It just depends where you stand.

In this class we will explore ways to make your watercolour paintings bolder, brighter and more powerful using colour. The session will focus first on materials, and secondly on how to use colour intensity to your advantage. You will be asked to bring examples of your own work that you feel are too timid, dull or muddy, as well as reference material that you want to work from and your usual paints and papers. We will triage your palette and discuss how to make high and low intensity colours. Through classroom exercises, demos, critiques and working through a new version of your subject, you will learn how to bring more vibrancy to your work. 10 am to 4 pm. See the Coast Collective website for a supply list.

In this class we will explore ways to make your watercolour paintings bolder, brighter and more powerful using values. In the first part of the class we will look at planning a value design, and how values relate to creating a strong focal point. We will then look at techniques you can use to save the white of your paper, and will practice various masking and painting ideas. We will also look at various methods to create dark values, including different pigments, lowered intensity, and methods of tinting other colours. We will learn how to make black and discuss why you might not want to!
