Invest in yourself and commit to two days per month, and see how your artwork and techniques improve. For artists without their own studio, this is a great way to access a creative space, tailor made for art-making. With plenty of demonstrations, one-on-one teaching, this mentorship is limited to nine registrants.

Studio mentorships are your opportunity to work with a professional artist in the Federation Academy on Granville Island. You’ll meet with Paul twice a month throughout October, November and December to work on your paintings, ask questions and further develop your practice.

Learn how to create bold, expressive and loose paintings, while still capturing the light and detail in a scene. Students in this highly interactive class will do quick exercises on composition, dark and light values, wet-on-wet underpainting, and masking. Then we will put it all together in a landscape painting.
