Drawing or Painting outside is fun, if you are prepared. Learn how to pack, tips and tricks for working on site and finishing up tips. My mediums of choice are watercolour, ink or graphite.

You pick the time and the day, but let’s get started soon so you can enjoy the summer and fall, outdoors.

Total cost for Individual session: $150 includes: 1 hour orientation session and then a 5 hour painting date

Total cost for Semi-private session: $100 each: includes 1.5 hour orientation session and then a 5 hour painting date. I will have some basic supplies for drawing and painting in plein air. However we will determine what supplies you need at the Orientation session.

Grand Prix d’Art :: 2013

/by

Date: July 27th, 2013

Time: 10am Start time

Location: Qualicum Beach, BC, the Old School House Art

Cost: $20 which includes lunch

Info:

The Grand Prix d’Art, hosted by “The Old School House Arts Centre“, is a “race”; competing artists must complete a work of art “en plein air” in the space of three hours. This year each artist will be assigned a zone in the picturesque town of Qualicum Beach by lottery. Prior to the event, local businesses are approached to sponsor an artist. Those sponsoring businesses will be in the designated zones from which the artist must work. The work must represent or be inspired by some thing or person that is visible from the assigned location. Most locations are within walking distance of The Old School House. The finished work must be in presentation condition, titled and priced for sale no later than one hour after completion. A panel of three judges then determines the winners of the contest. $20.00 entry fee includes an Artist Meal at the end of the event will be provided; companion meals may be purchased for $10.00. Prizes to be announced.
