WORKSHOPS 2009 by Marilyn TIMMS SFCA SCA

Texada Arts, Culture and Tourism is pleased to sponsor
A Watercolour Weekend
with MARILYN TIMMS SFCA SCA at
Texada Island, BC

Saturday & Sunday, May 23 & 24th, 2009
10:00 am to 3:30 pm

Back by popular demand, Marilyn will bring her highly creative and inspiring watercolour techniques and
approach to working with the "flow" of watercolours to another lucky group of painters.
Using a work-along technique to teach, her students come away with remarkable results, no matter what
level they are at in their process. Although she will work in watercolour, students who prefer to work
in acrylics are encouraged to come along as she has many years of experience in both mediums.

Class size is limited, so contact Bob by email (click HERE) or
call Bob at (604) 486-0274 for more information.
A supply list is available on registration.

Saturday and Sunday, July 11th and 12th, 2009
9:00 am to 4:00 pm

SATURDAY - Explore a new (and easy to grasp) way of MIXING COLOUR in acrylics.
Flat, greyed colours are the bane of many painters but, no more.
Marilyn Timms SFCA SCA has adapted an approach to
colour mixing that begins with primary colours and creates a manageable, flexible way to
control the mixes so clean, clear paint colour is achieved, every time, all the time. It is based
on simple colour theory and it applies beautifully to acrylics. It saves money (less tubes of colour needed) and
time (quick and direct). This approach is very helpful for all levels of painters, beginner to advanced and includes
excellent materials to take home with you.

SUNDAY - The thick and thin of textured layers in acrylic will be explored. You will be taken through a process of
step by step building up of thickness and textured effects to create stunning and unusual impact in the day's project.
Taking methods from her long background in watercolours, Timms will share
different and exciting ways to work with this flexible medium.

Mixing Colour: The first day will be spent exploring a new (and easy to grasp) way to learn COLOUR MIXING. Marilyn Timms SFCA SCA has adapted an approach that begins with primary colours and creates a manageable, flexible way to control the mixes so clean, precise paint colour is achieved, every time, all the time. It is based on simple colour theory and it applies beautifully. It saves money (less tubes of colour needed) and time (quick and direct). This approach is very helpful for all levels of painters, beginner to advanced and includes excellent materials to take away. The remainder of the seminar will focus on the step by step building up of thickness and textured effects to create stunning and unusual impact in each day's project. Explore the magic of light and how it reflects - from rivers to glass, reflections and light patterns catch our eye at every turn and we yearn to capture them in paint. Participants will be lead through techniques step by step to explore in depth their chosen subject.
Learn about and share the rich experience of Timms techniques in a safe and nurturing environment.

New and exciting ways to create beautiful art is the hallmark of master painter Marilyn Timms.

Supplies are not included (click HERE to view list).
