When: July 16th @ 1pm (1.5hr demo)
In this demo Darryl will be introducing us to his method of painting landscapes in water mixable oil paint. You can look forward to watching Darryl work on what he likes to call a ‘fictional landscape’, in other words, a landscape of his own design based on memories and experiences rather than photo reference of an actual place, and discussing his efforts to simplify and abstract landscapes into simple shapes and forms. Through the demo, Darryl will discuss the technical aspects of the solvent-free Cobra oil colours, their amazing versatility (they can be used like a watercolour/gouache on paper and also work extremely well as an alternative block print ink!), as well as various painting medium options to alter the working properties of these paints. Using flat brushes, he will demonstrate his technique of blending colours directly on the canvas to form a smooth gradation. Darryl will also demonstrate how he uses filberts to create a textured ‘leaf-like’ pattern. As an added bonus, Darryl will briefly talk you through how to prepare a canvas for oil painting while stretching his own canvas, transferring his sketch, and acrylic underpainting.

Artist Bio
Darryl W. Funk is a Canadian artist working out of Chilliwack, BC. He studied
at the Alberta College of Art and Design in Calgary, Alberta and the Center for Arts
and Technology, Okanagan in Kelowna, BC. Darryl has a Bachelor of Fine Arts
degree specializing in printmaking.
Children’s illustration is the main reason Darryl pursued a career in art. He has been on staff with the Canadian publication, “Bazoof” children’s magazine since its
inception in 2006. He has also illustrated a children’s book and the Jasper National
Parks “Children’s Xplorer’s Guide”. As a landscape painter, Darryl draws inspiration from the art of the 1930s and 40s, most notably the work of Lawren Harris and Emily Carr. As he continues to paint, Darryl plans to move deeper into the abstract, exploring colour, form and movement.
Since 2015, Darryl has been an Ambassador for the North American division of
Royal Talens of Amsterdam. He travels throughout Alberta and B.C. demonstrating
the use of their excellent fine art supplies including the solvent-free line of oils called,
COBRA. Darryl is also an ambassador for Princeton Brushes which he has been
using exclusively since 2019.
