Class Limit: 15 Students
Any Skill Level – Youth or Adult
An essential part of painting is drawing. In this workshop we will build on an understanding of the language of line as we take steps toward understanding form through contour and cross contour brush strokes and expression in mark making. We will also explore the physicality of acrylic paint as students learn how to maintain sweeping lines with the brush and fluidity in the approach to creating an image.
About the Instructor:
Deltra Leona McNeil Powney is a painter, printmaker, and art educator. She is a third-generation descendant of Scottish and Norwegian settlers who farmed at Redvers Saskatchewan where she grew up, located near Deninu K’ue First Nation Treaty 2 territory. She now lives in Maskêkosihk (Stony Plain), Alberta Treaty 6 territory, and holds a Visual Communications Diploma (1993) from Medicine Hat College, and a BFA with distinction (2017) from the University of Alberta.
In her art practice Deltra reflects her experiences within natural spaces while considering themes of place-making and belonging. Through immersive field research and close observation of nature she focuses on microenvironments along shorelines, and forest floors, capturing rhythms of light dancing on forms using dynamic marks, and dramatic tones of earthy hues.
