Week Long Landscape Painting Workshop
With Artist Noah Layne on Beautiful Quadra Island

September 12th -16th 2011.  Hosted by Firesign Art & Design Studio and B&B on Quadra Island BC

In this workshop the focus will be on direct observation and study of the beauty of nature.  Noah will introduce the idea of using pencil field studies and plein air colour studies to be used at a later date to make a lager finished landscape painting in your studio. Noah will draw on his time as a Hudson River Fellow in New York as he shows you this process.

Each day we will go outdoors and draw or paint various studies of the landscape.  Some days it may be a simple flower study and others a large panorama.  By being out in the landscape and studying it one slowly starts to see it’s patterns and rhythms.  The more we observe, the more we start to see how light falling across a tree, a rock, a cloud are all related and this understanding will show through in our paintings and drawings.

Some of the evenings we will paint the sunset.  This is one of the most fun and also the trickiest thing to paint from life.  Noah will offer thoughts and ideas to make it easier.

Noah will do various demos and give lots of one-on-one instruction.  There will be group meetings to share and discuss the group’s work.

Students' comments

"Noah is a teacher in the true sense.  He observes, appreciates and values where each of his students are at, then offers suggestion and direction appropriate to let the artistic lessons he knows come naturally and internally to them, rather than forcing exercises or instigating reproductions.  This sharp perception is reflected in his own art, where flawless rendition of form is matched by appreciation and portrayal of a subject's inner magic.  A fantastic artist and teacher, I can't recommend Noah enough."

"Thank you so much for your wonderful class. It was such a great experience. You are a terrific teacher who has an ability to instill confidence in the learner. I look forward to many more classes with you"
