This is a 5-day workshop. All classes run 9 – 4 pm each day with lunch included from 12 – 1 pm.
Working directly from life in the open and through direct interaction the student will have a better understanding and approach to painting from nature at the end of the course. Both the tonal method and the linear method will be discussed and demonstrated, as well as site size and comparative measurements. Essential to the student who wants to have a more thorough knowledge of laying down measurements and an understanding of morphology (the shape of things). A number of support substrates will be brought in to give the student an understanding of the importance of various surfaces to work on. Different brushes, paint and their application will be demonstrated and practised through the course. Working from nature gives the student a better grasp and understanding of painting from life.

Paul Chizik was born in Vancouver BC. Grew up in a working class neighbourhood and from a early age, immersed himself in drawing and reading. While in high school and under the guidance of his high school art teacher decided that art was the profession he wanted to pursue. While working, he made his way to Western Washington University, Washington state. Where in the mid 80s he met professor Thomas Schlotterback, Emeritus and under his encouragement and tutelage, studied anatomy and figurative drawing in an independent arts program. It was a friendship and mentorship that lasted until Thomas Schloterbacks death in 2015. It was through professor Schlotterback, that Paul met Tom Sherwood, a master draftsman and painter.
