April 12-13: Surfacing - A Workshop in Acrylics
A workshop by Alsion Watt (www.alisonwatt.ca). One of the challenges of painting with acrylic is to avoid a flat "paint-by-number" look. The goal was to create lively surfaces which draw the eye closer, even when the passage is large (eg. a sky, a wall). In this workshop, students worked on canvas with simple compositions (eg. still life, abstract), creating interesting surfaces with layering and glazing, resist, escritura, and subtle colour transitions. Texture was also introduced using applied papers and acrylic media such as modeling, molding pastes and gels.
Fee: $195.00
Alison will be returning to Jupiter Ranch in 2010

Teacher's Testimonial: "Thanks Sylvie! I love your flair and the comfortable, practical, attractive space you've created -- in the workshop area and in your B & B. I felt thoroughly supported which enhanced my ability to deliver a strong workshop. A great experience with wonderful participants. I'll be back!"
"Your excellent preparation also made it possible for me to focus on the teaching. I didn't have to think about anything else. With your organization and readiness for us, it was such a pleasure. The studio is an ideal place to work."
