Painting Tours of France with Valerie Kent: 2008* Normandy Tour: July 16 - 27, 2008 Join Valerie Kent for an art enthusiast’s dream trip, spending 3 nights in Paris and a 7 night all inclusive River Cruise aboard the River Baroness. You will travel through some of the Impressionists’ favourite towns and villages: Argenteuil, Chatou, Bougival, Rouen, Le Havre, and Honfleur.
Provence Tour: July 26 - August 07, 2008* Join Valerie Kent for an art enthusiast’s dream trip, spending 7 nights cruising the wine region of Provence aboard the deluxe River Royale. Provence is brilliant with lavender, sun flowers, and the azure blue of the Mediterranean. You can smell the Rosemary and Thyme growing wild. No wonder Cezanne stayed here all his life, Van Gogh made splendid canvases here and Gaughin was as happy with the colour here as in the South Pacific. After the 7 night cruise, we will spend an additional 4 nights in the beautiful Roman Spa, and university town of Aix-en-Provence!

Mixed media is just such a process. We lovingly add the materials and the creativity to make something new that will be savoured and enjoyed. Resources are dried plant material, tiny glass beads, egg shells, cheese cloth, oriental exotic paper, found paper and stamped paper, inks, watercolours, acrylics, sand, pumice, feathers and just so much more. And the results are much more exciting, unexpected and delightful than any of the individual parts. Bring your sense of adventure and let's make magic together. There will be demos, discussion about the elements and principles of design and critiques to see what strong art-making is inherent in each work. This is suitable for newer and seasoned artists. Multi-Media Workshop We set out on a journey together to see what we can see. And to see how far we can go. Off in the distance there is a secret door beyond which is a mystery which we can explore and examine. We learn a lot about our intuitive selves and we use our materials to create something new and something different. We surprise ourselves. We can work on canvas with fluid or soft bodied acrylic and many other materials, and/or on paper with a multitude of media. There will be collaging, creating papers, monoprinting, starch painting, and a number of other techniques introduced. The work may be realistic or abstract. The same elements and principles of design apply. There will be demos, discussion about the elements and principles of design and critiques to see what strong art-making is inherent in each work. This is suitable for newer and seasoned artists. Palette Knife Painting in Oil 2009 Saturday and Sunday March 28, 29 Barrie Art Club (since 1949) 304 Dunlop Street West, Barrie Ontario.
