October 26 | 9:00 - 3:00
Discover the power of colour and take your acrylic painting skills to the next level!
Join award-winning artist Linda Lovisa for a fun and informative hands-on workshop designed to help artists gain confidence in colour mixing and understand how colours work together. Whether you’re just beginning your artistic journey or have years of painting experience, this workshop will give you practical skills that you can apply to every painting you create.
Linda will guide you through the fundamentals of colour theory using a limited palette of primary colours. During a live demonstration, you’ll learn how to mix a wide range of beautiful, vibrant colours while creating your own personalized colour chart—a valuable reference that you’ll use again and again in your future artwork.
Throughout the Day You’ll Explore
● Understanding the colour wheel and colour relationships
● Mixing an extensive range of colours from primary colours
● Creating tints, tones and shades
● Choosing harmonious colour combinations
● Developing confidence in your colour choices
● Building your own portable colour reference guide
Supplies to Bring

● Sketch pad and pencil
● Your favourite brushes (Linda will be demonstrating with a ¼-inch flat brush)

Artist Statement
I love the outdoors. My paintings are a visual journal of my adventures. They reflect the places I have been and beauty I have seen. I am drawn by the light, colour and movement in the subjects and scenes I choose. I have been creating for as long as I can remember. My hope is that my art will inspire others to want to create as well.
Linda Lovisa
