April Ponsford
Victoria, Saturday, September 13th 1pm-3pm
Gestural Painting ~ April will be demonstrating purposeful squeezing of paint, rapid strokes of palette knives and brushes with wide sweeping gestures while physically conceiving intuitive images, utilizing every square inch of space across the canvas. April is a self-taught artist living in Victoria. Her abstract expressionistic paintings become a fusion of motion and light. To view April's work, www.aprilponsford.homestead.com
Deborah Strong
Langley, Saturday, September 20th 2pm-4pm
Silk Painting ~ Deborah will be demonstrating the basic steps for hand painting silk using wax-based resist and steam-set dyes. Deborah has more than 20 years experience working in this vibrant and dynamic medium. Her work can be viewed online at www.catnmousedesigns.com
Jim McFarland
Victoria, Saturday, September 20th 1pm-3pm
Intuitive Painting ~ Join Jim as he uses a photo reference for his intuitive painting approach to create an acrylic landscape painting. Jim's painting approach does not require any special techniques or materials except a support, some paints, brushes and a desire to paint. Jim lives and paints with acrylics in Victoria. Jim's subjects are taken from real life and are usually painted on site. To view Jim's work, visit www.jimmcfarland.ca

"I am very grateful for the community workshops section as I had two people enroll who discovered my class through your service. Without those two people enrolling, my class would have been cancelled." ~ Jonathon Holland.
