2. Herb van der Staay at LUNA SOLE June – August 2, 2016

Inspired By The Colours And Space Of The Candian Landscape

Herb van der Staay draws his inspiration from the colours and space of the Canadian landscape. He is mainly a self-taught artist but studied under Ottawa artists Bruce Heggtveit and Robert Hyndman, and has attended workshops and painted with many fellow artists.

“I like to interpret what I see in nature and, in a way, abstract it into a pleasing painting.” He finds painting en plein air is a constant learning process where “Nature teaches us how to see colour, light, shadows and shapes. It is a challenge to put feelings and impressions on canvas and to connect with the viewer.”

To Herb, each painting becomes just a moment in time, the view changes constantly varying with the time of day and time of year.

Herb’s work has received recognition in prizes, awards and honourable mentions over the years and his work has been on display in several local galleries.

His landscapes are now on display at Luna Sole Restaurant through the month of July.

Luna Sole is in the mall at the corner of Voyageur Drive and Jeanne d’Arc Boulevard in Orléans and is open daily.

3. Communiqué

Arteast's hard-copy, quarterly newsletter—Communiqué—is popular with our members, but did you know that it is also available on our Web site at http://arteastottawa.com/newsletter.php? A notification when a new issue is released is communicated via the weekly Arteast Digest. Posting of the Web version may be viewed in full dazzling colour, at least two weeks before the print version (black and white) is delivered by Canada Post. With rising postal costs, some members have requested that they be removed from the mailing list for the printed copy. Other advantages of going with the online Communiqué are:

- reduces printing and envelope costs;

- makes Arteast more "green";

- no more hunting for misplaced issues (Arteast's Web site has the current and all back issues).

Printed copies will be available at our monthly Grow With Art meetings and the Promenade Arteast gallery at the Shenkman Arts Centre. If you prefer to read the newsletter online, please e-mail us at editor@arteastottawa.com to have your name removed from the newsletter mailing list.

La copie imprimée du trimestriel d’Arteast – Communiqué – est populaire auprès de ses membres, mais saviez-vous qu’il est aussi disponible sur le site Web http://arteastottawa.com/newsletter.php ? Lors de sa publication, une notice paraît dans l’hebdomadaire Arteast Digest. Sur le Web il peut être lu et vu en couleurs deux semaines avant la version imprimée ( noir et blanc) postée par Poste Canada. Compte tenu du coût postal croissant plusieurs membres ont enlevé leur nom pour l’envoi postal - vers le Web. Il y a d’ailleurs d’autres avantages du Communiqué en ligne tels que :

- réduire les coûts de l’imprimé et de l’enveloppe;

- Arteast plus ‘vert’;

- ne plus être à la recherche du numéro manquant (le Web d’Arteast conserve le numéro courant et les anciens numéros).

Des copies imprimées seront disponibles à la réunion mensuelle L’Art en herbe et à la galerie Promenade Arteast au Centre Shenkman. Si vous préférez lire le Communiqué en ligne, s.v.p. contactez : editor@arteastottawa.com afin d’enlever votre nom de la liste d’envoi.

Develop your landscape drawing and painting confidence! This course will cover sound practices as they apply to both plein-air and studio endeavours. What to paint on location - should I sketch or use water media? How might I best use reference photos? Who hasn't returned to the studio from a sketching expedition and thought, what now? During three fun-filled days, we will cover painting and sketching on location and return to the studio to create spectacular finished works.

Each day will include a session at a scenic location and a demonstration on how I approach plein-air work. I will also review some practical information on composition and technique which I invariably find useful. Studio techniques will equally be covered with an emphasis on developing works from plein-air studies in conjunction with photo references. Participants will be encouraged to pursue their medium of choice and individual coaching will be provided.

Qui n'est pas revenu au studio après une excursion de dessin en pensant, quoi faire maintenant? Pendant 3 jours amusants, nous allons peinturer et dessiner sur les lieux et retourner en studio pour créer et finir nos oeuvres spectaculaires.

Chaque jour incluera une session à un lieux scénique et une démonstration sur l'approche plein-air. Je ferai aussi des revisions d'informations pratiques sur la composition et des techniques que je trouve invariablement utiles. Des techniques pour le studio seront également couverts avec une emphase sur le dévelopement d'oeuvres plein-air en conjonction avec des références photos. Les participants seront encouragés à poursuivre le medium de leur choix et une enseignement individuel sera fourni.
