plein air painting workshop

The Wolfe Island Gallery presents:
Plein Air Painting on Wolfe Island
3-Day Workshop with Nancy Steele
September 6, 7, 8  -  10am to 3pm
 $180

A workshop for painters at all levels, on beautiful Wolfe Island. Drawing and painting en plein air, in the moment, is both meditative and adventuresome. It is the best way to learn both to see and develop as an artist with one’s own unique style.

Getting here:
Take the free ferry to Wolfe Island – The 9:00 boat from Kingston will get you to the island in plenty of time. If you're driving, we recommend arriving at the dock at least 30-45 minutes early. Or you can walk on and a free shuttle will take you from the ferry to the gallery in the morning, and back to the ferry in time for the 3:30 boat.

Materials:
Stools and easels can be provided if needed.  Bring paints (oils, acrylics or watercolours), pencils, charcoal or inks, boards (small), canvases or paper (with tape and backing board) and a lidded jar for water or medium. Oil painters need linseed oil but no solvent. A minimum of white, 2 yellows, 2 reds, and 2 blues help get you started in colours.  I also add transparent earth colours in yellow, red, and blue/black. A lidded palette like a cookie tin is useful with paper palette paper inside. Contact Nancy for any additional consultation on materials. ​

​About Nancy Steele:
Observational drawing and painting is my passion. While wrapped in the sounds, smells and touches of place, I focus on the shapes, perspective, colours, and energies of structures, land masses, and water formations.
