Discover artist materials, their unique qualities and interactions while learning drawing techniques in a supportive, safe & creative environment. Lifelong artist, Shirley McMahon (BFA), will take you along successive steps addressing basic concepts leading to simple shading and perspective; the essentials to any subject be it animals, faces or landscape.

These workshops emphasize the importance in fearlessly adding textures and layers to a canvas. Jenny will demonstrate the many ways students can apply paint, shift these “moves” by working into them and over them, and use words (or suggestions of a word) to tell a story on the canvas in unexpected ways. Just as an author lays down pages of words, then refines and edits as to create a finished piece that satisfies the soul and stimulates the mind. Supplies included, all levels welcome.

Adult Class (17 yrs. +)

Single Day Workshops: Sunday January 21st & 28th, 2-4PM

Course Fee: $95 for members or $105 for non-members (option to sign up for both dates).

In this exciting 2-part series, Jenny will take you through the fundamentals of colour mixing and learning various techniques that enable you to create abstract paintings with exciting levels of what Long likes to refer to as “visual eye candy”. We will be experimenting with elements of collage, learning about texturizing gels, and using a variety of knives and scrapers as painting tools along with brushwork. No experience necessary. All supplies included.

Attendees will be introduced to the tools and techniques that Jenny demonstrates as they create their own abstract portraits of their choice of a person or a pet. From the importance of color mixing as a foundational, to using a variety of tools and applications of paint to create interesting visual elements, Jenny component will go through the process of beginning a work in an abstract expressionist manner, followed by tonal build of a figure with palette knife acrylic applications and drawing techniques to marry the visual excitement that exists between balancing order with chaos.

Students are encouraged to bring a reference photo to be inspired by or can use source material (an image on your phone works as well). This class will take you through the painting process from start to finish, with an emphasis on color mixing, acrylic painting techniques and individual expression. Supplies included, all levels welcome.
