Susan will show her work, and talk about her art journey. During her presentation, she will do a short demo to explain her painting process where she is trying to ‘capture the essence’ of a scene.
Susan will demonstrate how she takes a step away from painting a literal landscape. She will touch on how she explores new tools.
Susan has a unique approach to her work that she will help you to develop in your work.
In October Susan has agreed to teach a Zoom workshop based on sound colour theory and design principles.
This new workshop will be delivered in four Thursday evenings in October from 7-9 pm

Starting her career as a Designer/Illustrator, Susan worked with various firms establishing her reputation and expertise. Leaving the advertising business in the early 1980’s her focus evolved to being a Fine Art Painter and Instructor. Susan continues to explore her artistic expression and love of teaching in a variety of mediums including acrylic, pastel, mixed media and watercolours. Her most recent works have a more contemporary focus. Her “Abstracting the Landscape” explorations have met with critical acclaim by her contemporaries and her client base.

David Langevin - Landscapes in Acrylic
David Langevin - Landscapes in Acrylic
Starts: 7:00 pm
Ends: September 29, 2023 - 9:15 pm
Location: DVAC Zoom
Description: DVAC Friday Night Meetings - David Langevin - Landscapes in Acrylic
Trees and rocks, water and sky, mountains and snow, these elements, combined with distinctive painting methods and an audacious style, have characterized the paintings of this well-known Canadian artist.
YouTube video David wants you to watch before his presentation: “Art School Live with Eric Rhoads with guest David Langevin”
“I am often told that my style is reminiscent of the Group of Seven. It is true that I like to paint Canadian landscape, and trees of course, but that is where the similarity ends. From a technical perspective, my paintings could not be more different. The Group of Seven painters were working in the Alla Prima painting methods popularized by the Impressionists; my stuff is more like Baroque painting techniques meet the Canadian wilderness…”
BIO:
After finishing his Bachelor of Fine Arts degree at the University of Ottawa, David spent several years perfecting his painting skills. He pored over old texts, treatises, and manuscripts stored in the backrooms of art restoration departments and libraries reserved for conservationists. David obtained a Masters in Art Education degree from McGill University, specializing in methods and materials for the painter.
Since 1992, he has been living in British Columbia where he finds an endless supply of inspiration for his art. David gives lectures and presentations on painting and the art market, he teaches, coaches and conducts workshops on painting materials and techniques.
His paintings are sold in galleries across Canada.
