Session One:
THEME: “For the love of Animals”
This camp is designed for the students who love to paint animals. We will delve into form & shading. Colour theory will be expanded to include a more natural (sophisticated) colour palette. And we will develop our physical and visual TEXTURE!

Session Two:
THEME: “Streeeeeeetch Images!”
We will explore unconventional compositions on Long/Tall / “Skinny” canvases. Intentional distortion of images will be explored. Students will choose their own subject matter, and learn how to adapt it to these unusual formats.
Session Three:
THEME: “Large Painting Adventures”
Students will embark upon a creative journey from start to finish on a large gallery style stretched canvas. To guide us on this adventure, we will discuss composition, advanced layering techniques, reintroduce palette knife painting, and review colour theory.

“The local painters were my idols...These artists, too, were grown ups who could still see!
Their eye was still in love! Like mine!” Frederick Franck
