Paint-On Critique with Ron Wilson

Do you have any tired old paintings that just haven't worked out for you?  Let Ron Wilson "fix" or paint on them before you burn them on the beach ( not encouraged).






Date:  Wed June 15th

Time:  10am - 12:30pm

Cost:  $20

Supplies:  One small oil or acrylic painting that you have given up on,  4x4 - 12x16


Morris Gallery invites dissatisfied artists to bring one small oil or acrylic painting for our international artist Ron Wilson to paint-on to show you what COULD be.  The paintings should be beyond redemption in your opinion - either you're stuck or you have given up on these would be treasures.  It also goes without saying that you will let Ron re-work them in front of you.  It's called a Paint-On Critique, an idea by Ted Goerschner.  www.morrisgallery.ca/workshops

Workshops and Demos in May at Morris Gallery

Landscape Painting in Acrylic with Jim McFarland


Date: Wed May 25th
Time: 7 - 9 pm
Cost: $20

Jim McFarland will demonstrate the method of painting a landscape en plein air while using acrylic paints.  It is required for an outdoor painter to work fast especially while using acrylics as they face the constantly changing and dynamic world around them.  Jim demonstrates the need to maintain the superior vision we have as artists over the images that can be produced with a camera.
