Online Streaming Workshops in Abstract Mixed Media Painting

“I am so thrilled to write a testimonial for Deb Chaney as an instructor. I have just completed an 8 week abstract painting in acrylics course with Deb through the Gabriola Recreation Society on Gabriola Island. I am a retired teacher with a BEd in Art Education from UBC and an MA in Visual Art from the University of Wales in Aberystwyth. 

I have had a great deal of art training from amazing instructors such as Gordon Smith. Deb has not disappointed as she is organized. Each lesson is planned and follows the course outline provided. Deb sets a positive, relaxed atmosphere with music, quotes and examples of art from art history and her own paintings. Each individual is encouraged to apply their individuality when painting. 

Deb is a practicing artist who paints with passion and sincerity which is very contagious! I leave class wanting to paint and live a creative life. I hope Deb will teach more courses as I feel there is so much more to learn from her.” - Waheeda Byron, Gabriola Island, Canada

“Deb's class was great, very inspiring. I loved the inspirational talks, the sharing and absolutely everything!! The theme on developing a body of work helped me to focus and get my act together and helped me to create many new 'masterpieces' during the 5 weeks.” - Patricia Grey, Leading Interior Designer, Vancouver, Canada
