Join Steve In this 4-week course, we will learn by copying a simple example in the style of one of the greatest masters. Claude Monet (1840 - 1926) was one of the foremost impressionist painters who changed oil painting forever. His loose, playful use of colour showed us how to enhance the look of standard realism by dazzling the eye with unexpected hues. Some painting experience is helpful but beginners are very welcome in this class. Steve Chmilar is one of Canada’s foremost New Contemporary painters. Since his debut show at the Art Gallery of Greater Victoria in 2011, he has painted full-time by selling his work internationally to private collectors. In 2012, he won best in show at the Toronto Outdoor Art Exhibit (Canada’s largest juried exhibition) and Prix De La Meilleure Oeuvre (Prize for Best Work) Mtl en Arts in Montreal. Please view Steve’s bio in the instructors tab for more information. Please note: We maintain small class sizes to ensure a personalized and welcoming environment. Each student will have their own table to create on in a large, well lit 900 sq ft studio with lots natural light studio. Supplies List:
