Chris Jordan Portraiture Workshop

Hosting the workshops for the federation of Canadian artists I brought in Chris Jordan. He is my favourite local artist. He always impresses with his skill at painting portraits. In the 7 years that I have known him his style remains the same;  Picking the exact colour and placing it where it belongs.

These are Chris Jordon's Demo

This is the one I am working on

Alan Wylie Workshop

This weekend I hosted Alan Wylie in a Federation of Canadian Artists Workshop.  A master in his field it was an honour, He is all knowledge and it is such a treat to get refreshing information on creating artwork. As workshop coordinator of the FCA-Calgary for many years it usually it is the same repititive information. Alan was able to articulate new concepts which is so valuable to the upcoming artists. Here we are discussing whether my table line cuts the picture in half too much.
