WORKSHOPS

Swinton Art Tour - Okanagan 2009 - September 21-25

Okanagan vineyards  

Known for its long warm summers, with a rare desert ecosystem, vast vineyards, lush orchards and award winning wineries, this region of the South Okanagan offers a relaxing atmosphere for a healthy dose of clean, fresh air. Rich with lakes, mountains and stunning desert landscapes, Osoyoos BC is your starting point for Okanagan vacation and recreational experience from the cultural and historical to the adventurous and athletic!

Join Doug at Spirit Ridge Vineyard Resort & Spa in Osoyoos, BC for 4 days of painting the beautiful Okanagan. Included in the workshop is 4 nights accommodation, private instruction, one group continental breakfast, a group dinner at the end of the workshop, an evening of critique on the rooftop covered patio with views of the vineyards and lake, and an afternoon wine tour with dinner.

The perfect class to focus on your drawing skills. Doug will show you everything from thumbnails to blocking in the painting. Finally conquer this skill and improve your work!

Heavy emphasis on composition, design elements, placement of objects and perspective - not only linear perspective (buildings) but land and sky planes (clouds in perspective).
