TWO-DAY WORKSHOP:
June 22 & 23, 2016
9:30am – 4:00pm
​Neilson Park Creative Centre
​
​Enrich the sensory experience of your paintings by pushing the paint out from the flatness of the canvas or panel into delicious relief surfaces we can feel with our eyes, (like work by post-impressionist Vincent Van Gogh through l’automatiste Paul-Émile Borduas to contemporary painter Kim Dorland). 

In this two-day workshop, build vivid surfaces in acrylic paintings by developing your skills to create rich and varied textures, sculpt the paint and build up impasto marks. Also learn how to extend the open time so you can work back into the existing paint layer.

Instructor Kim Lee Kho will guide you through creative and technical – and fun! – aspects of working with and modifying acrylics to enhance the third dimension in your work.

Materials fee of $40 (payable to the instructor) includes the acrylic mediums you will need for this workshop, custom-packaged and bought in bulk to save you money and hassle.

More details to come!

On the weekend of June 18 and 19 I will be among 16 local artists and craftspeople showing and working live at Clarke Memorial Hall in Port Credit. Located very near the Waterfront Festival which is on at the same time!

The vaulted space is perfect for my large triple-scroll piece “Double Happiness, Three’s a Crowd” to make its Ontario debut. It was first shown in Burnaby BC in 2012. Each of the three digital mixed media scrolls measures 16ft x 4ft! City staff will be assisting me with the installation of the scrolls.

My plan is to work on drawing portraits for my #dailyheroes series on and off during both days, and display a digital slideshow of the ones I've completed so far.

There will be so much more going on as well: poetry readings, music, a large public collaborative piece that you can make your mark on, and of course a lot to look at.

So please drop in and say hi, ask me about the scrolls or the #dailyheroes or whatever else.
