/

See How Spirit Moves Her by Deb Chaney (12” x 9”)

I’m excited to announce that I’ll be offering an in-person workshop beginning next month. It was written up in my newsletter this month, but I’d like to mention it here as well. If you don’t receive my newsletter, you can sign up for it here.

About FUNdamentals in Abstract Painting With Acrylics

My FUNdamentals workshop will be held on Gabriola Island on Monday nights, starting in October, and will run until December.

The 8-week course teaches the foundational 3 Cs of non-representation art making, how to use a colour wheel for basic colour mixing, and how to clarify the meaning in your work.

We explore mark-making principles and practice hands-on painting to learn layering, etching, and removal techniques. On top of these, we delve into how to add depth, texture, and intrigue to your artwork.

Finally, we discover the 3 Wows – what makes a great abstract painting and how to know when your painting is finished. You will leave this course inspired to continue your artistic journey, full of ideas and principles to explore and implement.

Dates: Mondays, Oct 16 to Dec 4 (8 weeks)
Time: 6:30-8 pm
Where: Gabriola Recreation Office, Gabriola Island
Registration: https://www.gabriolarecreation.org/events/painting-with-acrylics-fall2023/

For those of you who are unable to attend the workshop in person, it will be accessible online in the future. When it becomes available, you’ll be able to find it on the Online Streaming Workshops page.

This week I’m excited and proud to present to you an amazing woman, Leslie Robinson, who will be visiting us here in Vancouver from Calgary this August  to offer her foundation workshop: Fundamental of Facilitation.



Leslie is a fun, popular, and highly effective international facilitator who trains trainers with solid, instantly applicable training frameworks, skills, and techniques…and powers them up using energy principles like the power of intention and the law of attraction.  Leslie pioneered experiential learning in Canada, the US, and Australia through her tourism training programs and publishing company and was a member of the team creating the award winning Certificate in Adult and Continuing Education at the University of Victoria.  

Leslie also taught for years in the renowned Provincial Instructor Diploma Program and is a facilitator and trainer in the internationally acclaimed Instructional Skills Workshop.  Leslie's Masters degree in Adult Education is in resistance (to learning), change, quantum physics, and accelerating learning. She combines her extensive knowledge and skill in applied metaphysics.  Her classes are filled with laughter, music, magic.
