Follow in the footsteps of the Group of Seven for a sketching and painting expedition in the Canadian wilderness. Create dry media and paint sketches using sound practices as they apply to the Canadian landscape: composition, simplification, colour and value – with a modernist edge! During annual trips to the north shore of Lake Superior, Lawren Harris lead members of the group and evolved the style the Group of Seven is best known for: rich, decorative colours melding with deeply-felt perceptions of nature. Whether inspired by the stark and mystical landscapes of Lawren Harris, the lyrical styles of J.E.H. MacDonald and Arthur Lismer or the consummate paint mastery of A.Y. Jackson, join us for a weekend in the company of the most legendary group of Canadian painters.
