In this two-day workshop, we will focus on the most important element of portraiture, the eyes. This workshop is a critical supplement to anyone interested in portraiture - as we have learned from previous 5-week courses and 2-day portrait workshops, we can always use more time to focus just on the eyes. Previous oil painting experience is a bonus but not necessary. Steve Chmilar is one of Canada’s foremost New Contemporary painters. Since his debut show at the Art Gallery of Greater Victoria in 2011, he has painted full-time by selling his work internationally to private collectors. In 2012, he won best in show at the Toronto Outdoor Art Exhibit (Canada’s largest juried exhibition) and Prix De La Meilleure Oeuvre (Prize for Best Work) Mtl en Arts in Montreal. Please view Steve’s bio in the instructors tab for more information. Please note: We maintain small class sizes to ensure a personalized and welcoming environment. Each student will have their own table to create on in a large, well lit 900 sq ft studio with lots of natural light studio. For Supplies lists please see: https://mctavishacademy.ca/supplies-lists/
