This is a 2-day workshop. All classes run 9 – 4 pm each day with lunch included from 12 – 1 pm.
This workshop is a celebration of geology and place through the medium of watercolour; where you will be creating our own paints from earth pigments foraged from the land, and learning to work with them in your artistic practice.
The workshop has both an indoor and outdoor component. The outdoor will focus on how to identify and test dirt and stone for promising pigment in the field. The indoor component will be where we transform our found earth into pigment, then into watercolour paints.
We will then engage with the long and rich history of earth pigments through painting, learning various techniques to bring your colours to life. This course will also cover some history, the basic geology of B.C., and skills such as using maps to find pigments.
Price: $376
This price includes: tuition, daily lunch, material fees (if required), any applicable taxes and is listed in Canadian Dollars.
