Advancing your Art Practice with Michael King
May 13, 2022
Description
When: May 13th at 11:00 am (PST)
Advancing your Art Practice 
This workshop will cover five techniques you can use to improve your artwork, no matter what you paint. We will work through composition & design, identifying and maintaining your focal point, establishing your painting’s key & value structure, using colour temperature shifting for interest & movement, and using variable edges. Each, on its own, has an impact but when combined brings significant life and interest to your work.
Materials:
Brushes (Various bristle and synthetic brushes from 2 to 8+, #4 rigger – I prefer long flat synthetic bristle brushes when I paint as it gives me more control over my paint on canvas or board.)

Artist Bio: 
Michael is a contemporary Canadian painter and art instructor based in Port Coquitlam. He works primarily as an oil painter and is known for soft Plein air landscapes, modern still lifes, and portraiture. With an eye for how light, shadow, and colour temperature form the fundamental elements of a scene, King’s practice blends representation with Impressionistic aesthetics.
