This is a three day workshop in which students will discover what a rapid acceleration will occur with their painting and drawing skill as they work from life.

2009 Workshops
Composition and Design for Painting
Location: Hal Rogers, Center, Kamloops
Dates: April 3, 4, 5, 2009
The slipperiest slope for painters of all levels is often that of accomplishing good, solid designs within their paintings. It is also the most critical aspect of creating a successful work. This workshop will examine different approaches to developing design skills and will address the process of taking a piece from conception to completion. On the last afternoon of the workshop, participants are invited to bring in their paintings for group discussion pertaining to the compositional aspects of their work. All mediums and skill levels are welcome. Workshop is hosted by The TNSC chapter of the Federation of Canadian Artists.
Cost is $225 for non chapter members.
