"I volunteered at this event (Squeegee Paint Nite) and it was such fun. Everyone had a unique painting. Plus Joanne took time to share techniques and do quite a bit of on the spot teaching. I highly recommend you take one of her art classes. Everyone was so highly engaged and came away with some beautiful and mindful masterpieces. Well done !" ~ Natalie Wai, Vancouver School Board Special Education, English Language Arts and Ell; Summer School Administrator, Secondary Completion and Skills Development; Community Schools Teacher; and Ell Department Head – International Student Advisor – Vsta Representative

DETAILSWHAT ARE GLAZING AND SFUMATO?
Glazing has its roots in oil painting. Acrylic painters use a similar layering technique to create depth, variety and luminosity.
Sfumato softens edges and uses consistent values and colours. When employed in a landscape, it creates a sense of peacefulness while allowing for abstraction, expression and interpretation.
