Overview

Hone your skills at putting down your impressions on paper or canvas with help and direction from artist and designer David Antscherl. We will visit different local settings each week that may include the Niagara Pumphouse Arts Centre, St. Mark's, Ryerson Park, Queenston, Simcoe Park, and Mississauga Beach. Work in your preferred medium (watercolour or acrylic). Topics will demonstrate composition, centre of interest, and colour palette. By the end of this course you will have gained confidence at working out of doors, selecting a pleasing composition at each location and completing a study in three hours to use as a basis for a studio painting or to work up further at home.

Prerequisite: previous drawing and painting experience required.
