Arts Courses & Arts Activities - 2019 Season

Oil Painting on Grand Manan July 12-19, 2020 with Martha Johnson

Martha's workshop gets you into the landscape quickly and welcomes all levels of experience (and mediums). Her approach to locating sites includes attention to composition, colour and an easy set-up. The course will show you how to paint on site, work with a sketchbook, take digital photos and gather notes and information that may be applicable to developing larger studio work. You will work at a number of remarkable sites on the island as well as having access to some of the "off the beaten track" locations. Martha's point of view as an instructor is positive with informal critiques designed to create a sense of camaraderie and a dynamic learning environment.

Grand Manan Photography Workshop with Noel Chenier NO WORKSHOP DATES FOR 2020 POSTED

This four day workshop is for photographers of all levels, from beginner on up. Noel will be guiding you around the various areas throughout the entire island, offering suggestions on settings and techniques to try to capture the best images of every site. Only ever used AUTO mode on your camera? Don’t worry, Noel will fix that the first day. Noel will go over settings, shooting techniques, composition, lighting, everything to help you get amazing images. There will also be critiquing sessions during the workshop.
Friday will feature a boat trip to Machias Seal Island, where we will photograph the famous Atlantic Puffins, Razorbills, a seal colony on the way back, and possibly see a whale or two! Even if you aren’t a bird photographer, you will love this. By the end of the workshop you will have galleries of great images.
