SUMMARY:Art On Ninth Artist Retreat

Stephen will then dive into fundamental topics such as drawing techniques\, composition principles and selecting a subject. He will then move onto the steps it takes to realize a watercolour painting from start to finish. It’s a comprehensive start that covers all the essentials for creating captivating and well-structured works of art. \nPlay with Paint \nThen it’s time to have some fun playing with paint\, as Stephen covers several techniques including wet on wet\, wet on dry\, dry brush\, fun ways to use masking fluid\, colour mixing\, brush handling\, using alcohol\, wax\, salt\, watercolour pencils\, ink pens and so much more! \nThroughout the day\, you’ll work on two or three paintings\, drawing inspiration from provided references or\, weather permitting\, venturing outdoors for some plein air painting. \nAnd rest assured\, one-on-one feedback\, guidance\, and coaching will be provided every step of the way\, ensuring a supportive and encouraging environment for all. \nDay 3\nThe Real Fun Begins! \nWe will be trying a unique form of watercolour you are sure to love – Watercolour Batik.

SUMMARY:Artist in Residence for August
DESCRIPTION:Drop into The JB Fletcher Store Museum for our next exhibit with artist Elizabeth Augsten starting on August 23. Elizabeth will be on site Aug.31 and Sept. 1 demonstrating her process. \n“My work in acrylic is a melding of light and shadows from places either real or imagined\, presented in a loosely representational style. Featuring vibrant colors and often incorporating water\, my pieces are inspired by music and aim to capture the dynamic interplay between sound and visual experience. Through these abstracted landscapes\, I reflect the inherent beauty of the environment while evoking a sense of rhythm and emotion.”

SUMMARY:PETUNIA & THE VIPERS W/ UCRA Mountain String Band
DESCRIPTION:After touring for the past decade to the UK\, Canada and parts of the USA\, world acclaimed Petunia and the Vipers make another breakout tour\, with their last four album releases all going to #1 on the Canadian Folk/Blues/Americana charts. \nPetunia is no stranger to being a “road dog”. \nHe’s spent most of the last 23 years crisscrossing sections of Europe\, North and South America\, playing his old hobo haunts\, hitch hiking junctions\, street corners\, dive bars\, churches and run down theatres. He’s more than just an entertainer\, he’s a modern musical enigma. Imagine that David Lynch and Nick Cave had a hillbilly baby\, that yodeled… or Tom Waits meets Elvis at Woody Guthrie’s hobo junction. \nThis is just one way of describing the man known simply as Petunia. He’s an adventure seeker\, a poker player\, and a mysterious stranger. \nHe’s been referred to as “The Savior of Country Music”\, and a man who exists in a different era\, bringing the past forth as something new to be celebrated and not forgotten. \nA restless wanderer\, a musical historian\, and a quirky yet amazing talent\, Petunia joins the greats from north of the 49th for his classic style and raucous performances. He is simply a Canadian treasure.
