Learn to Paint with Stephen Purdy: Tuesday Evenings

February 24 @ 6:30 PM - 8:00 PM
$30

Learn to Paint with Stephen Purdy!

Most of us enjoy the natural landscape, and sometimes stand in awe of its beauty.

Join Stephen as he teaches and shares what he’s learned to help you make a landscape painting you can be proud of!

This class is based on the process of painting outdoors, in which it is essential to develop a strong composition, designate the appropriate values, and make the colour sparkle with the life of the scene before your eyes. Outside, you have a limited time to capture the scene as the light will change. Inside the studio, this same efficiency will keep your painting fresh.

This class is for everyone. Beginner, Intermediate or Expert. We can all learn from some constructive criticism. The class is structured with demonstrations of each stage of a painting, followed by individual critiques of each stage of the students’ progress. If you are a little uncertain of your ability, don’t be, this class might be a little intense, but that is because painting is really, really, REALLY fun!!!

Please Bring:

You can bring whatever painting medium you prefer: acrylics, oil, or watercolour paints.

  • Palette for mixing paint on
  • Palette knife for mixing the paint
  • Variety of brushes: large, and not so small
  • A canvas to paint on (Stephen will be painting on a 11×14″ canvas board)
  • Colours: 2 blues, 2 yellows, 2 reds, and a big tube of white!
  • A photo of a particular scene you would like to paint

That’s it! That’s all you have to bring other than your attitude.

Good attitudes are preferred, but not necessary 😉
