The result was an enduring series of paintings of Newfoundland which received critical acclaim by loyal collectors and a nearly sold out exhibition of thirty-five works. A career artist of more than 30 years, Atyeo is well-known for his ongoing series of Killarney and Algonquin paintings where many of the Group of Seven painted. Inspired by his love of traditional and modern jazz, he also produced an evolving series of paintings and collages of jazz artists. A move to Nova Scotia brought a limited series of textural rock paintings and interior scenes that captured the joy and beauty of life in Peggy’s Cove. Last fall, a new series of abstract paintings of semi-precious stones paid homage to Atyeo’s early playful time of learning and curiosity, and finding beauty in the inanimate world. For the past two winters, Atyeo has introduced a limited series of winterberry paintings on birch panel that capture the beautiful foliage of the season. Atyeo also paints Alberta and loves to drive through the foothills; his paintings convey the majestic beauty of the Rocky Mountains. His next series is based on the Artic and will continue to reflect his unique response to contemporary life across this nation.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"line-height: 115%;\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: 'Georgia','serif';\"\u003eAtyeo is a respected teacher and conducts painting workshops across Canada. He is a member of the Canadian Society of Painters in Watercolour and the Ontario Society of Artists. His work is held in corporate, government and private collections internationally. He is an avid supporter of Ducks Unlimited, an organization with a rich tradition of wetland conservation for 75 years and now working to preserve waterfowl and wildlife for all Canadians.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1735\/1271\/files\/Brian_Atyeo4_grande.JPG?v=1485213608\" alt=\"\" style=\"display: block;

Gerritt Verstraete, co-founder of the Drawing Society of Canada, noted that to receive this honour, an artist must “demonstrate a substantial commitment to drawing as well as mastery of drawing techniques. They have developed a body of work that positions drawings as complete works in themselves and not just preparatory work or ‘studies’ for paintings. A Canadian drawing master is an artist who loves to draw, who draws well, who is comfortable in one or any number of styles and who has spent many years creating drawings that in turn have become valuable contributions to Canada’s overall artistic heritage.” Previous inductees have included Robert Bateman, Peter Mah, Eric Freifeld and Ken Danby.

His art is represented in galleries across the country and has inspired many nature lovers, artists, and of course, collectors. Moreover, his striking use of light and unique painting methods have creating a captivating vision of this country’s landscape that has even influenced the way many art lovers and collectors of his work view those same subjects; a hike in the forest or the mountains is never the same for those who have come to know Langevin’s imagery.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLangevin seems unrestrained by any limitations to his artistic expression. Whether the source of his inspiration is landscapes, “treescapes,” or the human form, they all carry the signature of his rare talent and vision.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDavid Langevin is a modern day Old Master – an impeccable craftsman, an innate talent. \u003cbr\u003e“When I looked at the paintings  of the Old Masters I saw in their  work something that I did not  see in modern art. Nothing in  my education or experience as a  painter could help me  understand how they achieved the effects that they did. I wanted that. I wanted to know I could achieve any effect that I could imagine. I wanted complete expressive freedom…”\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAfter finishing his Bachelor of Fine Arts degree at the University of Ottawa, David spent several years perfecting his painting skills. He pored over old texts, treatises, and manuscripts stored in the backrooms of art restoration departments and libraries reserved for conservationists. David obtained a Masters in Art Education degree from McGill University, specializing in methods and materials for the painter.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg class=\"wp-image-1133 alignright\" src=\"http:\/\/davidlangevin.com\/\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/04\/whistler-08-06-142-300x200.jpg\" alt=\"whistler 08 06 142\" srcset=\"http:\/\/davidlangevin.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/04\/whistler-08-06-142-300x200.jpg 300w, http:\/\/davidlangevin.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/04\/whistler-08-06-142-1024x683.jpg 1024w, http:\/\/davidlangevin.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/04\/whistler-08-06-142-742x495.jpg 742w, http:\/\/davidlangevin.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/04\/whistler-08-06-142-1013x675.jpg 1013w, http:\/\/davidlangevin.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/04\/whistler-08-06-142-120x80.jpg 120w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSince 1992, he has been living in British Columbia where he finds an endless supply of inspiration for his art.

The workshop is open to all levels and it is intended to be a fun and enjoyable experience.  On Friday evening there will be a demonstration, then the rest of the weekend we will learn to paint a variety of subjects based directly on suggestions from students.  We will learn to look at each subject and see it in terms of large, overall basic shapes.  We’ll start by sketching and placing the subject on the canvas then block in three simple values: light, dark and mid tone.  By learning to simplify form, values and color, you can begin to interpret and break down the painting into more understandable tones and shapes instead of becoming distracted by details.  This helps us to paint our subjects with greater clarity and directness. This class will be particularly helpful to students who wish to paint more loosely and to paint their subject with greater economy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1735\/1271\/files\/wind-on-mount-andromeda_grande.jpg?v=1513198944\" alt=\"\" style=\"display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDate:   Nov 2\u003csup\u003end\u003c\/sup\u003e  - 4\u003csup\u003eth\u003c\/sup\u003e 2018\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTime:  Friday 6:00pm - 8:00pm\u003cbr\u003e            Sat \u0026amp; Sun 10:00am – 5:00pm\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCost:   $325\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1735\/1271\/files\/dougswinton3_d8f0f0f2-e151-4da7-a85f-a80b4a5cca90_grande.jpg?v=1513199004\" alt=\"\" style=\"display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWorkshop Location:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eEllis Art Studios\u003cbr\u003e1021 Ellis Street\u003cbr\u003eKelowna, BC V1Y 1Z3\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRegistration:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eYou can secure your spot by purchasing this workshop online or by signing up via email or telephone at director [@] ellisartstudios [dot] ca | 250.300.4668 \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRefund \u0026amp; Cancellation Policy:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA supply list will be provided upon registration.  You may withdraw 4 weeks prior to the workshop start date and receive a full refund.

Maybe it's living in the foothills of the Rocky Mountains and being surrounded the spectacular landscape. Maybe it’s that my mom was always in the kitchen painting wicker baskets of bright fruit with Chianti wine bottles, or may it was all the doodles and drawings that adorned each and every page of my math book. But \u003cspan\u003esome how\u003c\/span\u003e, art has now become my career.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSince my childhood, drawing and painting have always played an important role in my life. A big part of me never really left kindergarten. I still live for the “Hey Mom, look what I made!” I think exhibiting in galleries is just a bit of an extension of that. And today, besides being an artist\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHow do you describe my art? That’s like trying to hit a moving target. Just when I think \u003cspan\u003eits\u003c\/span\u003e going one direction ever elusive leopard slips away and changes its spots. Slathering thick viscid paint on a freshly unwrapped canvas is sensual and venereal. For me it’s always been more about the doing than the end product. It’s like being at a live concert. The energy that comes from the doing is a highly powerful thing. I also get board very easy so I tend to flit from subject to subject. As J R Tolkien said, “not all that wander are lost”. No matter what the subject, it’s always the same, the most amount of information with the least amount of brushstrokes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCanada couldn’t be a better place to live. But for me as an artist, the close proximity of the prairies, foothills and mountains of Alberta makes my home province a never-ending dream.

Modlinski was born in Warsaw, Poland Nov 20, 1970. From an early age he studied printmaking and later attended the School for Artistic Crafts and Design in Warsaw. In 1987 he immigrated to Canada and studied fine arts at Ontario College of Art in Toronto, where he graduated with honours in 1993. It was while studying landscape painting, that Dominik was naturally drawn to the wilderness of Northern Ontario. Following his graduation he moved to the Algoma region of Ontario to paint at the Algoma School of Landscape Arts. Since then he peruses his passion to paint the wilderness in various locations around the globe. As a matter of course, Dominik incorporates the journey motif, his creative process and his personal growth into his work.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eIn the early 90’s his travels led him to the Yukon wilderness and the far North, where he truly found his inner creative calling depicting the dramatic landscapes of Canada. Now, for over 15 years Dominik consistently returns to his isolated cabin in the northern village of Atlin, British Columbia to painting and explore. This wild location borders on the Yukon and Alaskan territories, which offer access to a diverse and spectacular ecosystem. This ever changing and harsh environment provides Dominik with limitless inspiration as he journeys through the path of nature’s four seasons.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eDominik’s painting journeys are a wilderness experience based upon weeks of traveling rugged and barren lands to capture in plein air style the majesty of nature. His northern travels have inspired him to explore further and visit many of earth last remaining wilderness areas. Some of the most extreme painting expeditions took him across continents and hemispheres such as Antarctica, High Arctic, Greenland, and Patagonia and most recently in to the wilds of Namibia and South Africa. As we witness disappearance of wilderness around the globe, Modlinski’s quest is to portray a need to preserve the beauty of our planet and inspire people to do so through his paintings, photographs, stories and videos.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eWhen he is not traveling, Modlinski shares his art practice between his home on Vancouver Island, British Columbia and his cabin in Atlin, British Columbia.  He also devotes his time to filming and creating his ongoing television series called ‘CHANGING LANDSCAPES’ where he and his best friend travel the world in the quest of adventure and painting locations which is currently running on SHAW television channel. During the time when he is not painting Dominik follows his second passion, martial arts. He has been training for 25 years various styles and currently holds a rank of 5th degree black belt in Karate.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eThe artist’s work can be found in many private and corporate collections around the world. Dominik exhibits regularly and is represented by numerous art galleries such He is represented by “ Canada House “, Banff, AB., “ Koyman Galleries “, Ottawa, ON, “ Hambelton Galleries, “ Kelowna, BC, “ Mountain Galleries “, Whistler, BC Jasper, AB, “ John A. Libby Fine Art “, Toronto, ON. “ Medicine Man Gallery’ Phoenix AZ and Santa Fe NM. , “ Everard Read Gallery, Johannesburg, South Africa.  His work is also published by Nature’s Scene in Georgetown, ON.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003ewww.paintingjourneys.com\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan style=\"border-radius: 2px;

the other using a tonal underpainting, or ‘grisaille’.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn this workshop the focus will be on learning the specific properties of acrylics and how you can use them to achieve fantastic results.  Luminosity, color intensity, and mastering the transparent and translucent techniques of glazes and veils will be emphasized.  Come prepared to take notes, ask questions, and to paint.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003e\n\u003cimg style=\"display: block;

His art is represented in galleries across the country and has inspired many nature lovers, artists, and of course, collectors. Moreover, his striking use of light and unique painting methods have creating a captivating vision of this country’s landscape that has even influenced the way many art lovers and collectors of his work view those same subjects; a hike in the forest or the mountains is never the same for those who have come to know Langevin’s imagery.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLangevin seems unrestrained by any limitations to his artistic expression. Whether the source of his inspiration is landscapes, “treescapes,” or the human form, they all carry the signature of his rare talent and vision.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDavid Langevin is a modern day Old Master – an impeccable craftsman, an innate talent. \u003cbr\u003e“When I looked at the paintings  of the Old Masters I saw in their  work something that I did not  see in modern art. Nothing in  my education or experience as a  painter could help me  understand how they achieved the effects that they did. I wanted that. I wanted to know I could achieve any effect that I could imagine. I wanted complete expressive freedom…”\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAfter finishing his Bachelor of Fine Arts degree at the University of Ottawa, David spent several years perfecting his painting skills. He pored over old texts, treatises, and manuscripts stored in the backrooms of art restoration departments and libraries reserved for conservationists. David obtained a Masters in Art Education degree from McGill University, specializing in methods and materials for the painter.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg height=\"200\" width=\"300\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" srcset=\"http:\/\/davidlangevin.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/04\/whistler-08-06-142-300x200.jpg 300w, http:\/\/davidlangevin.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/04\/whistler-08-06-142-1024x683.jpg 1024w, http:\/\/davidlangevin.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/04\/whistler-08-06-142-742x495.jpg 742w, http:\/\/davidlangevin.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/04\/whistler-08-06-142-1013x675.jpg 1013w, http:\/\/davidlangevin.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/04\/whistler-08-06-142-120x80.jpg 120w\" alt=\"whistler 08 06 142\" src=\"http:\/\/davidlangevin.com\/\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/04\/whistler-08-06-142-300x200.jpg\" class=\"wp-image-1133 alignright\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSince 1992, he has been living in British Columbia where he finds an endless supply of inspiration for his art.

It is merely an ongoing exploration of that which I find beautiful, from the everyday to the extraordinary.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWhat really drives me to the easel is my love of rendering light. Backlight, cast shadows, bounced light - all of it is quite mesmerizing to me. I enjoy the other elements present in the visual field, those of color and design etc., but the light hooks me every time.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn addition to doing my larger studio paintings, I very much enjoy painting on site, and have been privileged to do a fair amount of traveling and painting in the last number of years. I also enjoy doing small studies of the still life and the model in my studio during our long Canadian winters.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTo balance the solitude of my life as a painter, I find a great deal of fulfillment paying forward the skills my mentors have passed on to me to my students.

His paintings feature in exhibitions and collections worldwide,\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFabio currently works in two artistic fields: watercolours and acrylics, and his unique and luminous floral watercolours are known internationally. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eExplaining why he has chosen transparent watercolour as his favorite medium, he says, \u003cem\u003e\"What compels me to paint with this approach is the possibility of painting quickly. It suits my personality best -- the fluidity of the medium provides a unique sensation of unexpected colour mixing, particularly when I define only the main masses and allow the unpredictable to happen on the rest of the paper. Timing is quite important in my method. I lean intuitively toward realism, but the right speed forces me to create diffused effects and shapes. I love painting flowers and landscapes in watercolour and I'm always enchanted by the attempt to capture the contrast between loose and definitive edges, as well as light and shadow effects.\"\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFabio teaches painting techniques in his studio, in art galleries, as well as workshops and painting holidays throughout Brazil and abroad.

The allure of wide open spaces-where the imagination can wander as far as the eye can see-has been the dominant inspiration for Jonn’s golden prairie landscapes and sunlit seascapes; the subjects and style he has become known for.” Art is not a product of decoration, but a window into some place you have been, or want to go. Rather than limiting your space within the confines of a frame, art should expand your view,” says Einerssen.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBoth privately and self-taught, Einerssen has followed a successful, adventurous career as a self-sustaining artist for over five decades, painting and exhibiting across the continent. Jonn spent many years on the west coast and living in The Rockies while establishing a fine arts career. He eventually settled in Kelowna, where his studio and gallery are currently located. Einerssen finds inspiration in his years as a boy living on the prairies; he paints what he remembers seeing on the horizon of his childhood like the grain elevator. His pioneer spirit is kept alive because Jonn is compelled to document his experiences in his ever-popular prairie landscape paintings.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn recent years Einerssen’s work has evolved in a more impressionistic direction: dramatic cloud formations, less detail, more blended shapes, and the always present angular light. He jokes that his evolving style is “not about his eyesight worsening, but because he is painting more of what he feels, than what he sees.” Einerssen also adds that “what you see with your eyes doesn’t always capture what you feel. When I paint, I am adding the emotion back in.” Einerssen conducts workshops throughout the year, passing on this disciplined approach to aspiring artists while demonstrating his masterful style and technique.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4 style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.einerssen.com\/\" target=\"_blank\"\u003ewww.einerssen.com\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 18pt; font-family: 'Georgia','serif';\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"border-radius: 2px; text-indent: 20px; width: auto; padding: 0px 4px 0px 0px; text-align: center; font: bold 11px\/20px 'Helvetica Neue',Helvetica,sans-serif; color: #ffffff; background: #bd081c  no-repeat scroll 3px 50% \/ 14px 14px; position: absolute; opacity: 1; z-index: 8675309; display: none; cursor: pointer;\"\u003eSave\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"border-radius: 2px; text-indent: 20px; width: auto; padding: 0px 4px 0px 0px; text-align: center; font: bold 11px\/20px 'Helvetica Neue',Helvetica,sans-serif; color: #ffffff; background: #bd081c  no-repeat scroll 3px 50% \/ 14px 14px; position: absolute; opacity: 1; z-index: 8675309; display: none; cursor: pointer;\"\u003eSave\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"border-radius: 2px; text-indent: 20px; width: auto; padding: 0px 4px 0px 0px; text-align: center; font: bold 11px\/20px 'Helvetica Neue',Helvetica,sans-serif; color: #ffffff; background: #bd081c  no-repeat scroll 3px 50% \/ 14px 14px; position: absolute; opacity: 1; z-index: 8675309; display: none; cursor: pointer;\"\u003eSave\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"border-radius: 2px; text-indent: 20px; width: auto; padding: 0px 4px 0px 0px; text-align: center; font: bold 11px\/20px 'Helvetica Neue',Helvetica,sans-serif; color: #ffffff; background: #bd081c  no-repeat scroll 3px 50% \/ 14px 14px; position: absolute; opacity: 1; z-index: 8675309; display: none; cursor: pointer;\"\u003eSave\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"border-radius: 2px; text-indent: 20px; width: auto; padding: 0px 4px 0px 0px; text-align: center; font: bold 11px\/20px 'Helvetica Neue',Helvetica,sans-serif; color: #ffffff; background: #bd081c  no-repeat scroll 3px 50% \/ 14px 14px; position: absolute; opacity: 1; z-index: 8675309; display: none; cursor: pointer; top: 25px; left: 61px;\"\u003eSave\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"border-radius: 2px; text-indent: 20px; width: auto; padding: 0px 4px 0px 0px; text-align: center; font: bold 11px\/20px 'Helvetica Neue',Helvetica,sans-serif; color: #ffffff; background: #bd081c  no-repeat scroll 3px 50% \/ 14px 14px; position: absolute; opacity: 1; z-index: 8675309; display: none; cursor: pointer; top: 2943px; left: 64px;\"\u003eSave\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"border-radius: 2px; text-indent: 20px; width: auto; padding: 0px 4px 0px 0px; text-align: center; font: bold 11px\/20px 'Helvetica Neue',Helvetica,sans-serif; color: #ffffff; background: #bd081c  no-repeat scroll 3px 50% \/ 14px 14px; position: absolute; opacity: 1; z-index: 8675309; display: none; cursor: pointer; top: 3453px; left: 79px;\"\u003eSave\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"border-radius: 2px; text-indent: 20px; width: auto; padding: 0px 4px 0px 0px; text-align: center; font: bold 11px\/20px 'Helvetica Neue',Helvetica,sans-serif; color: #ffffff; background: #bd081c  no-repeat scroll 3px 50% \/ 14px 14px; position: absolute; opacity: 1; z-index: 8675309; display: none; cursor: pointer; top: 930px; left: 70px;\"\u003eSave\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"border-radius: 2px; text-indent: 20px; width: auto; padding: 0px 4px 0px 0px; text-align: center; font: bold 11px\/20px 'Helvetica Neue',Helvetica,sans-serif; color: #ffffff; background: #bd081c  no-repeat scroll 3px 50% \/ 14px 14px; position: absolute; opacity: 1; z-index: 8675309; display: none; cursor: pointer;\"\u003eSave\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Ellis Art Studios","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43535879733447,"sku":null,"price":350.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1735\/1271\/files\/download2.jpg?v=1700814434"}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1735\/1271\/collections\/c15051573e1f442648a6d0ad3d4fa844.webp?v=1744323594","url":"https:\/\/ellisartstudios.ca\/collections\/past-workshops.oembed?page=5","provider":"Ellis Art Studios","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
