"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

DETAILS

WHAT 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.

WHY THIS WORKSHOP?

  • Hosted by a senior-level, experienced, professional artist who will help you do your best.
  • Take home a beautiful work of art to enjoy for years to come

  • Get away from it all... leave feeling joyful, empowered and relaxed

Joanne brings years of art and teaching experience to the classroom, ensuring you get the tools and guidance you need to reach your goals. You'll feel supported, relaxed and delighted to be part of a very special class.
