 Check-in on Sun. August.8th between 4:00pm and 6:00pm

Using both the studio and surroundings of Bridgewater, you will paint with oils and use quick value studies and photos to develop plein air and larger studio paintings. Learn to visualize complicated landscapes into simpler shapes and values to develop a more interesting composition. Become aware and learn to apply soft and hard edges and colour temperature. There will be discussion of various block-in methods and a demonstration of at least one. Demonstrations, individual assistance and critique are part of each day. Discovering his great satisfaction from drawing and painting at a very early age, John was an art major in high school, then studied at OCAD. His architectural illustrations were used in projects around the world and he also worked as a graphic designer and illustrator in Toronto, Montreal and Chicago. An award winning artist, John prefers painting en plein air with both oil and acrylics. "The purest and most rewarding form of painting, in my opinion, is 'en plein air', as it challenges all of the skills and discipline of the artist." www.prycestudios.com

For many years, Bridgewater has been an artist’s paradise,
nestled among trees along the beautiful Skootamatta River.
Heritage log buildings, cozy cedar cabins and a studio filled with natural
light create an atmosphere for creativity. Subject matter surrounds you.
Enjoy cooling off by the river, solitude under the cedars and exploring the
adjacent conservation area. Bridgewater Retreat offers residential classes with renowned instructors in this
inspirational setting.
All cabins are double occupancy, with two single beds, mini-fridge, clock
radio, fan, electric heat, pillows, blankets and two-piece bath. A showerhouse is centrally located among the cabins.
Classes at Bridgewater are limited to students who are residents for the
duration of the class.
