Saturday, August 29 | Intermediate Level

Take your painting skills to the next level in this intermediate workshop with artist Sean Benton. Designed for students with some colour-mixing experience, this class focuses on understanding how colour and value work together to create realistic form and depth.

Throughout the workshop, you will learn:

• How light and dark create form and dimension

• How to mix and modify primary colours to achieve accurate, natural-looking hues

• Colour-mixing techniques for observational painting from life

With Sean Benton
Friday Sept 18th, 9am to 12pm

Perfect for beginners and anyone wanting to strengthen their painting fundamentals.

Learn the foundations of painting through observation, colour theory, and hands-on practice.

In this beginner-friendly workshop, students will explore how to mix a full range of colours using only the primary colours. Through colour wheel exercises and guided demonstrations, participants will gain confidence in understanding hue, value, and colour relationships.

Students will then apply these skills to an observational still life painting, learning how to accurately see and mix the colours needed to paint a simple object from life.
