Painting is a wonderful way to relax, and channel your creative brain. Students will learn paint application techniques for abstraction and tapping into your emotions as inspiration. Students will begin to develop their own style of abstract painting through exercises, videos and practice!
Rebecca Gillen, a student of the Emily Carr School for the Arts, has been specializing in abstract landscapes for more than 15 years. The Arts Centre is very fortunate to have her as an instructor! Three classes, Sept 11, 18, and 25 from 1-3 pm, will give students a grounding in intuitive painting to create a complete abstract landscape painting.
Rebecca's work has been described as "(Her) works evoke a nostalgia for landscapes of the past, becoming studies of where we have been and how our surroundings profoundly affect our emotional memory. Both in meaning and in medium, these paintings are richly layered and visually stunning"
Former students of this class are still painting together, and selling their work through the Arts Centre and in Galleries in the area.
Cost: Members $200; Non Members $230, HST included
