Something Different

Plein Air Art Retreat, June 14 to 17, Lake Clear, Ottawa Valley, in the Steps of AY Jackson with Herbert Pryke
Herbert will work with you over three and a half days in some of the same locations that inspired A.Y. Jackson and the Group of Seven.
Herbert brings a distinct use of colour and abstraction to the Canadian landscape. This is a wonderful opportunity to reach for a new level in your landscape painting. Retreat is all inclusive.

Plein Air Art Retreat, July 2 to 9, special Five-Day retreat in Charlevoix, Quebec with Don Cavin
Wilson Street Studio has arranged for acclaimed professional artist and instructor Don Cavin to take you on a five-day painting adventure in Charlevoix, Quebec.
Going to Charlevoix is like going to Europe without the hassle of international flight. It’s one of the most picturesque locations in Canada. Mountains and valleys, unique Quebec houses, the St Lawrence shore, beautiful towns and villages. Retreat is all inclusive.
For more information visit http://www.wilsonstreetstudio.ca/classes.html

Plein Air Art Retreat, July 19 to 22, Prince Edward County with Edward Abela
Edward Abela, an artist painting in Canada and Europe, works with you over three and a half days in the heart of Prince Edward County, Ontario.
Edward’s rich style is particularly suited to the complexities of the Ontario landscape. Prince Edward County has a mixture of natural forest, waterfalls, “seascapes”, small towns and rural scenes. Retreat is all inclusive.

Plein Air Art Retreat, August 19 to 22, Pennisula Lake, Muskoka with Helen Walter
Helen Walter, has had great success coaching and inspiring novice painters. She works with you over three and a half days helping you capture the glorious scenery of Muskoka, Ontario.
Helen teaches through example and individual coaching. Muskoka is famous for its rugged landscape, however, it also has small towns and country scenes worth capturing in paint. Retreat is all inclusive.
For more information visit http://www.wilsonstreetstudio.ca/classes.html

Plein Air Art Retreat, September 20 to 23, Elephant Lake, Haliburton with Don Cavin
Don Cavin is your coach and mentor as you paint the rugged landscape of Haliburton. Staying at Elephant Lake, you travel out to many of the stunning locations in the area.
Don’s own bold, reductionist style is a great jumping off place to learn to capture the strong, simplified shapes that can make the difference between successful paintings and a ho-hum result. Retreat is all inclusive.
