    Abstract Drawing (DRWGw166-3) The very first drawings we ever do as children start off as abstract mark-making or scribbles. This workshop focuses on using lines and marks to make abstract compositions that are as fresh and lively as those first scribbles of a child. The afternoon will consist of three different drawing projects that involve developing scribbles into a drawing; using a geometric design as structure and working with the process of ink washes to create an expressive abstract surface. Suitable for beginners. Apr 19, 2020 Sunday, 1pm - 4pm Wendy Welch Tuition: $85.00 (3 hrs) (materials included) http://vancouverislandschoolart.com/workshops_wi20det.html#DRWGw166-3

    Painting Your Own Flower Arrangement (PNTGw265-6) This unique workshop will introduce you to the art of flower arranging (floral design) and provide you with ideas on how to approach painting your floral creation. The first part of the day will be focused on making a floral arrangement by learning the classical “Dutch Master” design. You will learn professional tricks and rules of floral design and complete an arrangement that you can take home at the end of the day. You will paint your floral arrangement in the second half of the workshop using an expressive personal approach, with your design as an inspiration, or starting point. Participants will be encouraged to interpret what they see as opposed to painting exactly what is in front of them. All flowers and vessels will be provided. The flowers will be a seasonal mix. Some experience recommended. Apr 19, 2020 Sunday, 10am - 5pm Jillian Player Tuition: $125.00 (6 hrs) Material Fee: $40 (for flowers and vessel). http://vancouverislandschoolart.com/workshops_wi20det.html#PNTGw265-6

    Gouache Painting: Finding the Fantastical (MMEDw219-12) This two-day workshop will guide you through discovering the magical qualities of gouache (an opaque water-based paint) while focusing on subjects that are out of this world, such as invented plants and animals and imagined places. Participants will use collage methods to combine imagery into something unique and unexpected. Collages will be used as source material for paintings. Some painting experience required. Apr 4 & 5, 2020 Saturday & Sunday, 10am - 5pm Kate Scoones Tuition: $225.00 (12 hrs) http://vancouverislandschoolart.com/workshops_wi20det.html#MMEDw219-12

    Introductory Printmaking: Drypoint (PRNTw126-6) One of the joys of printmaking is that it involves a very process-based way of working with materials. The tools, terminology, and techniques can be intimidating if you do not have a background in printmaking so this workshop will provide an ideal introduction to give you everything you need to get started. You will experiment with inking squeegees, metal drawing tools, and learn how to use a printing press. In this one-day workshop you will gain a basic understanding of the differences been intaglio and relief printmaking techniques in hands-on, step-by-step printing exercises, which will introduce you to the essentials of drypoint. Once you have completed a workshop or course at VISA in printmaking, arrangements can be made for you to use the press for a small fee. Suitable for beginners. Mar 29, 2020 Sunday, 10am - 5pm Marina DiMaio Tuition: $175.00 (6 hrs) (materials included) http://vancouverislandschoolart.com/workshops_wi20det.html#PRNTw126-6

    Expressive Plant Drawing (DRWGw168-6) Local plants and flowers are ideal subject matter for this one-day workshop that will guide you to create large floral drawings.

Suitable for beginners. Mar 22, 2020 Sunday, 10am - 5pm Kate Scoones Tuition: $175.00 (6 hrs) (materials included) http://vancouverislandschoolart.com/workshops_wi20det.html#DRWGw168-6

    Experimental Handwriting (DRWGw178-3) This workshop will explore different ways you can generate your own forms of experimental handwriting through a series of exercises with mark making, obliteration and the fine art of gestural scribbling. Artists and calligraphers are now exploring ideas around asemic writing – writing without semantic content - but a form which produces powerful visual images. Your new forms of expression could find their home in your paintings and drawings as well as standing on their own as complete works of art. The processes of asemic writing can free you to be playful in making marks and help you discover the joy of creating with simple and unusual tools and materials. Bring eight to ten words – from a poem or prose piece – and these will form the basis for some of the writing. Suitable for beginners. Mar 15, 2020 Sunday, 1pm - 4pm Lorraine Douglas Tuition: $85.00 (3 hrs) (materials included) http://vancouverislandschoolart.com/workshops_wi20det.html#DRWGw178-3

    Geology as Art (DRWGw173-3) Did you ever collect rocks as a kid or perhaps you still like to collect them as you walk along the ocean? Geology, or the study of the earth’s surface provides an incredible source for the visual artist. This workshop focuses on three components of geology: striations, rock formations and crystal structures as subject matter for drawing. Examples of artists whose work is inspired by geology will be shown. Projects include using pencils, watercolour, collage and dirt. Suitable for beginners.

    The Contemporary Botanical (DRWGw239-3) The inspiration for this workshop comes from the fantastical and intricate botanical drawings from the 16th through to the 19th century. The workshop begins by drawing a series of plant studies from observation that will be used later as a source for design development and transformation to create an imaginative watercolour painting. Suitable for beginners.
