Federation of Canadian Artists on Gabriola Island

David McEown

The Federation of Canadian Artists invited me to be one of the instructors at a week-long en plein air painting event on beautiful Gabriola Island in British Columbia. It was wonderful to paint with almost 125 artists that descended on the island from all over North America. We had ocean shoreline vistas and wildlife sightings as well as old heritage farm lands to draw inspiration from. Plus the weather cooperated as well. Also it was inspirational to work with fellow instructors Mike Svob, Brent Heighton, Deanne Lemley and guest lecturer Robert Genn. The event was one of most well organized workshops I have participated in. The Haven Resort site was a fine location to host such a large event. The Phoenixauditorium also was a great venue for nightlypanel discussion on art and presentations, in which I gave my“Antarctica to the North Pole” painting adventure show. Many thanks tothe organizers that put this together. I wish the FCA much success next year and recommend it to those that want to paint on “island time for a while”.

Whistler Art Workshops

Alta Lake
Alta Lake

The Whistler Arts Council hosts a series of Art events called Workshops on the Lake.  I was pleased to teach an advanced three day  watercolour session. The venue at the old station House on Alta lake is a perfect location. Inspiration is found working right from the outside deck and also in the comfortable creatively ambient studio setting for our challenging studio works. The volunteer and coordinator did a fine job making sure we were all taken care of and were flexible in our start time to catch the earlier morning light. The weather was stunning, almost to good however for painting outside. The pure blue skies and a heat wave made for challenges. Thus we painted the early morning light outside and moved inside to the cool cabin to work on a large full sheet sustained mountain demo in the afternoon. Would really look forward to doing more workshops again in 2011!
