Weekly Wednesday morning “Open Studio” Drop In from 10:00-12:30 pm.

This will be similar to “Anything Goes”, where members can bring in whatever art piece they are working on as well as their own art supplies and materials. Nancy was a Simcoe County high school Visual Art teacher for almost 30 years and she can offer some advice, but only if so desired. If you are happy to just work away on your own, that is great too!
If you are looking for a little art camaraderie, this may be the drop in for you. Nancy is hoping to create a comfortable space where members can come and create! All levels are welcome, from beginners to advanced!
FREE to members, non-members can attend for a $10 fee per session.

**ONLINE WORKSHOP** Introduction to Abstracts - Inspiration & Creative Expression
TWO - 3 HOUR SESSIONS THURSDAY Workshop / 1 pm - 4 pm
Non-representational abstract painting is an exciting way to create with freedom, according to your own interpretation and feelings, rather than representing actual objects. We will explore ways to kick-start an abstract and use line, shapes, colours, textures and gestural marks to achieve exciting compositions.

***IN-HOUSE WORKSHOP*** Top Ten Editing Tips and Tools To Make Your Paintings Great!
FULL DAY WORKSHOP
SATURDAY / 10 am - 4 pm
Description:
As artists we find there are times when a painting just doesn’t look quite right and requires some tweaking to obtain a sense of accuracy; it's close but not close enough. The goal of this workshop is to increase our confidence as artists in creating a finiahsed painting we are proud to share. Harvey’s "Top Ten Editing Tips and Tools” can be used to analyze and improve a painting, taking a "lemon" and making "lemonade!" During our one-day workshop, Harvey will demonstrate each of the Top Ten and practiced, using our own paintings to try them out!
About the Artist:
Harvey Walker is returning to Barrie Art Club as an instructor and has been painting for over 30 years. Harvey is a full-time artist who spent his earlier career as a master cabinet designer and craftsman. He took his love of painting in oil to the forefront in 2010. His works have been featured in numerous juried shows, solo and group shows and the Haliburton Studio Tour. He is an avid plein air painter, from roadside to riverside, and thoroughly enjoys sharing his love for painting by teaching at his Boathouse Studio in Carnarvon.
