1. Arteast Grow with Art Speakers’ Series presents
Plein Air Painting in Nunavut with John Archer
One year ago, John Archer and a group of painters embarked on a challenging trip to capture the remarkable landscape of Canada’s North and the impact it can have on a painter. The particular location was the shores of Ennadai Lake, a long lake running north south and spanning the tree line – black spruce to the south and tundra to the north. It is a landscape remarkable for its simple forms and strong colour and a challenge to paint because of those qualities.
This presentation will cover, firstly, the plein air painting experience and the materials and techniques that were used. Secondly, it will cover the impact that this experience had on the subsequent six months (and more) of studio painting back in Ottawa.
What are the lessons to be taken from this presentation? The first is the importance of plein air painting because of its ability to “inform” your painter’s eye. The second is the importance of reworking a subject (series painting) so that you can automatically deal with form and composition leaving your painter’s brain to focus on pushing the boundaries of your work.

Peindre sur le vif au Nunavut avec John Archer
Cette présentation concerne le remarquable paysage du nord canadien et de son impact sur les peintres. La région observée est la grève du lac Ennadai qui s’étend du nord au sud - avec les épinettes noires au sud et la toundra au nord. Par la simplicité de ses formes et la force de ses couleurs, c’est un paysage remarquable.
Cette présentation couvre tout d’abord, l’expérience de peindre sur le vif et des matériaux requis. Puis, de l’impact de cette expérience à peindre six mois (ou plus), au retour, dans le studio d’Ottawa.
Quelles sont les leçons à retenir de cette présentation? La première démontre l’importance de peindre à l’extérieur pour exercer l’habileté visuelle de l’artiste. La seconde est l’importance de retravailler le sujet (série de peintures) où vous pouvez jouer avec les formes et la composition laissant votre esprit ouvert au résultat inédit de l’œuvre
