Art Workshop with Janice Robertson

At the beginning of the week, I took part in one of the Whistler Arts Council’s, Whistler Art Workshops on the Lake courses. It was a 3 day course with local Vancouver artist Janice Robertson, on Intermediate Acrylics. The course took place in the beautiful Alta Lake House, overlooking the Alta Lake, in Whistler.

As it was such a great day, I set up my easel outside on the deck overlooking the lake, Janice encouraged us to start painting something that inspired us, whether it be a photograph, found object, our imagination or the view. I brought in a few photos from that I took on my weekend away in Tofino. Amazing images of beaches, sea and waves, something that I have never attempted before with acrylics.

Janice started off the day by demonstrating the process and steps she takes when beginning a new piece of work, prepping the canvas laying out the composition and the initial layers of paint. We all then worked away at our own masterpieces!
