[BCMA] [media release] Figure painting workshop in Kelowna Dec 17th - 19th

[Moderated BCMA subscriber listserv.]

For Immediate Release: November 10th, 2015  - Kelowna, BC

This December, the Arts Council of the Central Okanagan (ARTSCO)  is
presenting an outstanding painting workshop to the Central Okanagan
community. Taught by world-renowned painter, Kristy Gordon, students will
learn classical techniques for figure painting.


“It is certainly very exciting to have someone of Kristy Gordon’s caliber
coming to Kelowna,” Katie Brennan, Executive Director of ARTSCO explains.


Gordon has ties to the community and grew up in Nelson, BC. She currently
makes her home in New York City. Gordon has nine years of experience
teaching and conducting painting workshops, lectures and classes throughout
North America. Her own paintings are a frank and intimate reflection of her
curiosity about other people, transformations and self-discovery.


With a focus on painting the nude figure using a limited colour pallet,
students will develop the ability to perceive tonal values and control
temperature variations while maintaining colour harmony.


This workshop will be held in the Ellis Art Studios located at 1021 Ellis
St, a great space with big windows and impeccable lighting perfect for
painting. Participants will learn how to achieve a better likeness as well
as how to paint convincing flesh tones. Each day will include a painting
demonstration, discussion and individual instruction at the easel.


This workshop will run over 3 days from December 17th to 19th from 10 - 4pm
each day. This workshop is available for students of all abilities.
