Workshop Description:
Learning how to draw is really using a pocket full of tricks, but most important, learning how to see. Using pencil, graphite, and pens, you'll begin to explore the world of visual art. We'll cover the basic skills using line, texture, contour and value in combination. In addition we'll learn about composition, quality of light and shadow, movement and atmosphere. Playing with blind and contour drawing combined with other mark making , will start you on the way, learning by playing and exploration. From still life, landscape, trees, water, portrait and drawing your favorite furry creature, this will be a platform to dive off and express yourself.

About the Instructor: Lea grew up in the United States, moving from the east coast to the west coast in mid 60’s. As an only child and being raised in an era of “children should be seen and not heard”, crayons, paper and pencils became her silent companions. Encouraged by both parents and teachers at school, she continued on her goal to become a productive, accomplished artist. Art Center College of Art and Design in Los Angeles attracted her based on its fine reputation and she majored in advertising illustration. After completing 3 years of study, Lea earned a Bachelor of Fine Art and headed north to Vancouver, BC, a place which she had visited during a holiday between semesters. Lea began working as a freelance illustrator and photographer mainly with advertising agencies and some notable personal clients including BC Forest Products and the UBC Botanical Gardens.
In the late eighties, Lea had the opportunity to further her studies and undertook three years at the Emily Carr College of Art and Design, completing a Diploma of Fine Art with a concentration in ceramics, three dimensional work and mixed media. It also gave her the confidence to begin to let go of the commercial art field and move more towards fine art, sculpting and painting. Lea also began working and curating in galleries in Vancouver, Delta and White Rock, amercing herself totally in the art world and observing the styles and techniques of other artists.
Today she is painting full time in-between teaching adults in both group and private lessons. She also volunteers with the South Delta Artists Guild, helping to strengthen the art community.
