6.  Exhibition Blackburn Library: Otto Graser 

The Blackburn Library in conjunction with Arteast is proud to present an exhibition.

When: From July 27, 2019 to September 28, 2019

Coordinators: Lore Organ at gomamlore@gmail.com; Josée Bourassa at Jbou1963@outlook.com;

Over the years, I have worked with several mediums: oils, acrylics, watercolors, etchings, etc. Lately (since I have my first Mac SE30) I have become fascinated in applying my artistic endeavors to exploring the world of digital art. The computer allows me to experiment with a vast array of tools: brushes, pens, pencils, textures and millions of colors.

Recently, I have been preoccupied with ArtRage 5, a standalone, drawing and painting application with incredible realistic simulation of the everyday world. I also toyed with the free application KRITA and others Procreate, HewPaint, Zen Brush 2 and Affinity Designer. The use of these applications (other than Photoshop) is greatly favored by the digital art community.

This is a unique opportunity for the public to enjoy, encourage and support local artists in their community as well as engaging with the Blackburn Library.

Location: 199 Glenpark Dr. Ottawa K1B 5B8.

Hours: Mon. through Thurs from 10 – 8:30

Friday from 1 – 6:00

Sat. from 10 – 5

Closed Sunday

MARCH WORKSHOPS: THE MAGIC OF PENCIL
offered by Arteast Member Lissa Rachelle

The Basics of Working in Graphite - $60
Discover the true magic of pencils in this single day, 5 hour workshop, which is designed to introduce you to the tools used by pencil artists who work in a realist style. Besides learning about all the various tools that help create the magic, you will also learn the real secret behind achieving those beautifully smooth blended tones that so many artists struggle to perfect. This workshop is the prerequisite for the other two.

Creating Realistic Textures in Graphite I - $60
Prerequisite: The Basics of Working in Graphite
Discover how to give your drawings beautiful depth with realistic textures! This single day, 5 hour workshop picks up where The Basics of Working in Graphite left off by helping you to practice your new skills and become intimately familiar with your pencil grades and what they can do. Watch the magic of pencil come to life as you learn to realistically portray the appearance and texture of grass, foliage, tree bark, wood grain and bricks in your drawings.

Creating Realistic Textures in Graphite II - $60
Prerequisite: The Basics of Working in Graphite
This workshop is exactly the same as the one above, except we will focus on learning to realistically portray the appearance and texture of skin, eyes, hair, fur and feathers in your drawings.

Please Note: NO previous drawing experience is necessary and each workshop is limited to six participants.

Location: The Artists’ Workshop Gallery, 119 Beechwood Avenue, Ottawa (free parking available on site).
