Plein air painting Workshop in Ottawa
A one-day art workshop in the Ottawa region in Canada offered every August. Learn the fundamental notions of plein air painting. And develop the skills to effectively depict, in your own way, the shapes and depth of the landscape. The day starts with an art history lecture and ends with a gastronomic evening. Open to artists of all levels and mediums.
Course Overview:
Morning 10:00 a.m. – 11:00 a.m. > National Gallery of Canada
A one-hour lecture entitled A Brief History of Canadian Landscape Seen Through the Eyes of Religion at the National Gallery of Canada (380 Sussex, Ottawa)
Afternoon 2:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m. > in the Province of Québec
Your voice is indeed important to express your concern in seeing this transforming landscape; this is what we will altogether, address during this afternoon painting class.
After a brief presentation on a whiteboard and a few loosening exercises resulting in part from our morning discussion, we will be ready to tackle the chosen subject with paint. At the end of the workshop, you might be bewildered by the apparently uncontrolled effervescence of your gesture or the quietness and inquisitive attention given to your composition. Since everyone is different, between the frenzied and the calmness exists a vast territory of human emotions. It is that landscape that we will together explore in a very enjoyable and thoughtful manner.
Early Evening 6:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m. > at Walk the Arts Headquarters
A cultural mediation with the neighborhood while having our aperitif. You will be showing your art, the result of your afternoon art workshop. Be ready to answer some questions and even sell your work.
Evening until 11:00 p.m. > Walk the Arts headquarters’ gardens, called Lost Paradigm.
A 5-course dinner (with wine pairings) from our book Let Go! The Artists’ Way of Cooking. The perfect way to end a creative and fun day.
