We’re pleased to offer a special basket of great Spring and Summer creativity!
April has certainly been a very active month, what with painting (including France’s portrait above), teaching and continuing development of our on-line courses.
We’ve now completed the posting of our trio of on-line portrait courses – oil, acrylic and watercolour and in addition, have also launched a new “Drawing and Painting with Perspective” course. Each can be taken at anytime……you decide when and you choose your own pace! Check them out at: http://www.breakabrush.com/on-line-courses/
Our Spring workshop program starts tomorrow with:
P19SWS05 | VAN GOGH, GAUGUIN, AND THE POST-IMPRESSIONISTS | Saturdays: MAY 4th and 11th, 9:30 h – 16:30 h
Registration is still open and there are a few places available. Booking and details are on the Ottawa School of Art website: https://artottawa.ca/orleans-campus/

On the subject of workshops, we’ve now got confirmed dates for our annual 3-day workshop in beautiful Wakefield this July: “Painting the Summer Landscape: Plein air and Studio” – 3rd, 4th and 5th of July (Wednesday – Friday).
A date to mark in your calendar, please join David at the National Gallery of Canada.
