Winter Break-a-Brush! Painting Workshop Program - AOE Announcements


1. The 2017 Winter Break-a-Brush! Painting Workshop Program

This Winter, we're looking forward to hosting another great workshop series: Over 6 workshops, we cover key painting subjects and walk with some incredible master painters.

Your ticket on the Group of Seven's Algoma Railcar - Saturday 4 February
Follow the footsteps of the Group of Seven for a sketching and painting expedition in the Canadian wilderness. Create dry media and paint sketches using sound painting practices as they apply to the Canadian landscape: composition, simplification, colour and value - with a modernist edge! During annual trips to the North Shore of Lake Superior, members of the group evolved the style the Group of Seven is best known for: rich, decorative colours melding with deeply-felt perceptions of nature. Whether inspired by the stark and mystical landscapes of Lawren Harris, the lyrical styles of J.E.H. MacDonald and Arthur Lismer or the consummate paint mastery of A.Y. Jackson, join us for a day in the company of this legendary group of Canadian painters.

Our inner abstract – Saturday 11 February
What if we journeyed to inner space to paint what we feel on any given day? Drawing from this wonderful well of energy, the workshop focuses on creating a visual representation from within. For some, that might be a realistic image of some sort with the overlay of another, for others it might be a painting which comprises imagery both in and out of focus and yet others, something entirely abstract. Abstract art means many things to many people, invariably provoking reaction. This workshop will draw upon pure creativity and deep inspiration as well as colour theory as it relates to its emotional association. Let's amaze and surprise ourselves!

Mysterious nocturnes: Whistler, Remington and more! - Saturday 25 February
Discover the creative potential of night scenes. The term nocturne was first borrowed from the world of music (denoting a movement evocative of night) in the 1800’s by perhaps the greatest proponent of night scenes, James Abbott McNeill Whistler. Masters have explored the potential of nocturnes from Rembrandt's monumental “The Night Watch” to Frederic Remington’s fascination with the American West. Nocturnes fill our senses with the potential of form and colour - hinted, but unstated: “Cold-hearted orb that rules the night, removes the colours from our sight. Red is grey, and yellow, white, but we decide which is right, and which is an illusion.” (Peter Knight & The Moody Blues)

Choose your media - Mixing it up! - Saturday 4 March
Explore the creative opportunities of mixed media in visual arts. We will investigate the almost infinite impact of various media applied separately and in conjunction with others. Oil over acrylic, charcoal with wash, pen and ink, pastels with wet media - the list goes on. In addition to creative aspects, this workshop will address common technical problems of application and conservation when using media in combination. Using motifs inspired by the human condition or compositions portraying empty spaces devoid of human presence, mixed media offers a powerful opportunity to apply feelings, experiences, and imagination to create a truly unique works of art!

East and West – Prudence Heward and Emily Carr – Saturday 18 March
Prudence Heward and Emily Carr may have met, but the record is unclear: With Prudence Heward working in Montreal and Emily Carr in BC, these two Canadian masters from the first part of the 20th century followed very different paths. Many of Prudence Heward’s figurative nudes were controversial in their time, whilst Emily Carr found little support for modernism until later in life. Both A.Y. Jackson and Lawren Harris strongly supported their respective work and place in Canadian art. Whether inspired by powerful figurative motifs or the mysteries of Pacific peoples and wilderness, let’s explore the contribution of these two monumental Canadian Artists.

Capturing personality in portraits - from classic to modern – Saturday 25 March
Artists through the ages have striven to capture something more than likeness – that invaluable, elusive quality yearned for, by the final brushstroke. This workshop will explore the joy of creating free and vital portraits, in a variety of styles. Balancing control and technique with immediacy and spontaneity, we will explore how these can be woven together to capture personality as well as likeness. Observation and sound technique will be explained, along with using the portrait as a means of expression. The session will cover working from a live model as well as from photo references.

All Workshops are from 09:30 am to 04:30 pm at Rothwell United Church, 42 Sumac Street, Ottawa, K1J 6P7. $95.00 per session or $75.00 each for bookings of 4 or more sessions. Additional details are found on our website: http://davidkearn.com/courses_e.htm.

These workshops appeal to a wide range of skill levels: from relative beginners to practiced artists wanting to pursue a new style. Together we will dispel myths and develop sound practices, creativity and expression! France and I would like to invite you to join us for an exciting winter painting program.

Reserve by email to france@davidkearn.com

A memorable season of painting awaits!
Break-a-Brush!

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.

Claire Ouseley: Exhibition of Paintings – Reflections: Flowers
I am the lover's gift; I am the wedding wreath;
I am the memory of a moment of happiness;
I am the last gift of the living to the dead;
I am a part of joy and a part of sorrow.

(Excerpt from Song of the Flower XX111 by Khalil Gibran)

Flowers have inspired artists throughout time, irrespective of age, language or culture. Despite their ephemeral nature, they survive in memories as symbols of important events in our lives. Flowers appear in different forms and contexts, evoking emotional and esthetic responses, and express feelings that defy words.

In this collection, Claire has painted flowers that represent significant moments in her life. The bees, butterflies and dragonflies serve as a reminder that although for us, flowers may be symbolic, they are essential to the survival of the natural world.

Claire Ouseley (Chi’Kan) is an Ottawa artist whose works are found in private and corporate collections. Contact: chikanartworks@gmail.com

This exhibition runs form April 1 to June 24, 2016 at the St Laurent branch of the Ottawa Public Library, 515 Côté Street, Ottawa K1K 0Z8

Gwen Cowan “Peared” Up  At Luna Sole for April and May
Pears are the featured subject for Arteast member Gwen Cowan in her exhibition at Luna Sole Restaurant.

A life-long interest in art was first fostered in her upbringing, then in her education and on into her work life. For many years, Gwen worked in social services working with children of all ages. “My artistic training helped me a great deal in terms of what I could offer the youth I worked with,” she explains. She moved on from social work to picture framing then returned to helping school children develop their artistic interest and abilities.

Now she is taking part in activities that focus on the art-health connection, teaching cartooning to elementary school children and looking for other teaching opportunities while also creating new works in what she describes as “stylized realism”. “Usually my message is peaceful and my intention is to evoke good feelings for the viewer,” says Gwen. “I love to draw and paint and probably always will.”

The exhibition continues at Luna Sole to May 10
Luna Sole is located in the mall at Jeanne d’Arc Boulevard and Laverendrye Drive (opposite the Bob McQuarrie Centre) and is open every day for breakfast, lunch, dinner, and drinks.

2. Joyce Buckley exhibition of oil paintings

Arteast artist, Joyce Buckley presents an exhibition of oil paintings at The Legal Information Centre of Ottawa, Suite 1400, 85 Albert St, Ottawa.

“Canada’s North – Capturing A Place In Time” looks at Canada’s northern landscapes with their vast rolling skies, majestic mountains and massive bodies of water. Joyce depicts
nature’s own abstract sculptures, each one with unique beauty, changing and evolving with light.

Her choice of medium is oil. Employing the methods and methodologies of her predecessors,
to create depth and luminosity drawing the viewer into the calm and deafening quiet of what is Canada’s true north, - simplified and pared-down yet with an aura of grandeur and water seemingly stretching to infinity.

The exhibition runs from
Jan 11th  to April 29th 2016.

Hours: Monday: 1-5,  Tuesday to Thursday: 9-5 , Friday: 9-12

4. 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.

6. Ottawa School of Art Course

Academic Oil Painting; Grisaille 
'Grisaille' is a fundamental step between drawing and painting in traditional academic painting. During this course students creat an achromatic (black & white) oil painting using a plaster cast. Simplifying the subject allows students to focus on the rendering of values along with the methods and materials involved in building a 'fat over lean' oil painting. The course is open to all levels of ability. The same instructions will be given to all students but the instructor will recommend extra challenges to the more advanced students on a one-on-one basis. Traditional oil or water soluble oil is acceptable.
OSA; Orleans Campus
