A 2 day workshop studying value and composition in the beautiful medium of soft pastel. Starting out with neutral non colour projects and moving forward into colour we will move thrugh exercises to enhance our understanding of colour, value and the effect of light on both.

Day 1- Small Painting Day
Discuss safety in using pastel pigment. Devices that can help us use pastel without increasing our risk to dust.
Discuss supplies such as different papers, favourite pastels and their various uses, favourite brands. Q & A>
First day sketches- morning - balck and white on middle gray ground. Seeing shapes in the negative and positive spaces, and using value to create drama. Sketch reference material provided.
Registration for this workshop is through the Old School House Gallery in Qualicum Beach, the contact # 1-250-752-6133

Afternoon - "colour has value" choosing 3 values of one hue and matching that colour to the corresponding neutral gray scale. We will work on both neutral and coloured surface- keeping this exercise in mind our class will complete some small colour paintings.

Day 2 - Landscape Day
References will be supplied - however if people have material of their own they would like to use please bring it along.
After completing 3 small thumbnails of reference material we will transfer the most successful sketch to our boards and hopefully complete our landscape.

Supply list available on request.

It has been contended that the difference between science and art is that, when an artist paints, he or she is painting a particular moment in time, and that the process of doing so not only changes the artist, but the artist's world, making it impossible to replicate the result. What changes, it seems, is the artistic vision. In this solo exhibit, come join Elaine L Hughes as she explores this concept, through a series of pairs of paintings of identical scenes. Reception is September 15, 2019 from 1 to 3 pm at the Coast Collective; artist will be in attendance.

Details for "Acrylic Landscapes - Monica Burrow, Sept. 14 & 21, 2019"

In this one day workshop we will explore the use of hue, value, intensity, and detail to create atmospheric perspective in the landscape. We will also look at the use of wet on wet painting and glazing, to see how those techniques can help create distance and dimension. Participants are encouraged to bring their own reference materials, as well as having their drawings done and their paper mounted on a painting support before class begins, so that the full day can be spent on the actual painting. There will be some instructor demos as well as individual consultations and a group critique. 10 am to 4 pm.

The Artist Colab was launched at Key City Public Theatre in 2019. Designed to encourage unique collaborations between artists and art forms, the Colab annually culminates in public presentations at Key City Playhouse. This initiative in is alignment with KCPT’s core value of nurturing new artwork creation by generative artists. The results are performances that transcend form, expanding KCPT’s reach to new audiences and artists. Participation is through invitation by KCPT’s Artistic Director and extended to notable artists from our community whose work is not primarily theatrical, in the sense of telling a specific story via actors. Each invited artist is given a month long residency and is required to identify and include at least one artistic collaborator whose work is in a different art form. The Artist Colab provides valuable resources and opportunity so that individuals may engage in artistic risk taking, explore new methods and mediums, and foster dynamic creativity between collaborators.
