Two-Day Outdoor Painting Workshop - Calgary, Alberta - September 20-21, 2008

This class is for anyone who is interested in painting outdoors and the landscape from direct observation. Jerry will provide daily instruction and personal attention, a short lecture on the fundamentals of painting, a painting demonstration, and discussion regarding the benefits and drawbacks of photography as a tool and studio versus field work. This workshop is at the Leighton Centre southwest of Calgary.

For pricing or to register, please contact the Leighton Centre at 403-931-3633.

Supplies: You will need a portable outdoor easel, paints, brushes, a couple canvases or boards (anywhere between size 8x10 and 14x18), paper towel, and a plastic bag (for garbage). A digital camera, umbrella, and appropriate clothing for outdoors are recommended, as well as a lawn chair or stool if you prefer to sit while you paint.

Jerry,

I wanted to thank you for a wonderful weekend workshop - all of your words of wisdom are still fresh in my thoughts and I am seeing "value" everywhere!!!

Perhaps our paths may cross again in the future, if not, please know that you have opened my eyes to a true appreciation of work in oils.....thank you.

Warm regards,

Jerry,

I really enjoyed myself at your 3-day intensive workshop in BC. It was fun, had a relaxed learning atmosphere, just the right amount of structure, so much information, lots of practice, EXCELLENT instruction, and with having a small group I got more than my money's worth. A bonus was Leah's cooking.

Thank you,
