Let It Snow! The Group of Seven & The Winter Landscape
1 Day Workshop | Available
During this 1 day workshop, students will explore winter landscapes through the eyes of Tom Thomson and members of the Group of Seven, such as Lawren Harris, A.Y Jackson, J.E.H Macdonald and Franklin Carmichael. Students will learn to paint our frigid Canadian north in vivid, bright colour. The goal of the workshop will be to develop student's understanding of colour theory in order to successfully paint snow-filled scenes with a variety of colours other than white, as the Group of Seven skillfully display in their paintings.
Note: The preference is to use oil paints due to the blending possibilities: much more suitable for painting snow.
Base Tuition: $120
