Also take note that we only rent this space at The Music Box and are fortunate to do so at a special rate, therefore keeping our course costs very low. We do not guarantee that you will find dishes, cups, cutlery, can openers, etc. as we share this space with many other groups. Plan your lunch so that you bring your own cups/cutlery( think environment friendly) and that you can have a picnic outside if the weather is fine, or inside by your table. Coffee, tea and some snacks will be provided.
There are plenty of small places for lunch close by in the area.
Where:
The Music Box (Upstairs)
1564 Argyle Avenue, West Vancouver BC. V7V 1A1
There is space for about a dozen cars by the Music Box, if done carefully. Parking is free on Bellevue on Sunday, as well. A space close to the building must be reserved for our guest artist, so when you arrive please make sure one spot is left open near the building.

Bio for Maria Josenhans
Maria Josenhans has been practicing art for more than three decades. Her early formal training at the University of the Arts, Philadelphia, PA, laid the groundwork for her ever evolving sensibilities, the focus of which is a connecting and reconnecting with the natural world. Her painting career has been directed, informed and inspired by long periods of immersion in travel, dance, and large format photography.
Painting both outdoors on location and in her North Vancouver studio, she plays back and forth between representational and abstract work allowing each painting to find its own unique path. She believes there can be no substitute for what happens in response to direct observation and invites her outdoor painting to provide the creative impulse and information for all of her work. Her aim is not to have the viewer experience what she sees and feels but to create a space that shares a tender tribute to the ordinary.
Maria has taken part in several Invitational Plein Air events including Paint the Peninsula, Washington, and Paint the Mountain, West Vancouver. She has received numerous awards and grants, including the Grand Prize at the Kilby Plein Air Festival, Harrison Mills, BC; the Don S. Williams Grant, North Vancouver, BC; the Stafford Plant Award and Honourable Mention for Best Landscape at the Federation of Canadian Artists, Vancouver, BC, to name only a few.
Born and raised in the New England area of the US, Maria brings her innate aesthetic to the west coast landscape she now calls home. Maria's work is represented through the Buckland Southerst Gallery, West Vancouver; The Avenue Gallery, Victoria; and Art Interiors, Toronto. Her work is found in corporate and private collections throughout Canada, the US, Europe, and Japan.

This workshop Goal is:
This workshop is suitable to all levels, however a good understanding of colour is helpful. Painters will be examining and employing a process of designing a landscape painting (using their own photo reference, either printed or on a tablet screen), first by understanding how the image best relates their intention through values (i.e. black and white). During the painting process artists will then consider how their colours relate to their values and how that will support their idea/intention of their image. The painting will be done "alla prima".
Registration: To sign up for this workshop directly, please scroll down to the bottom of this page. Enrollment and waitlist status is also presented there. You can pay directly on-line by credit card.
This course may fill up quickly. Do not hesitate to join the WAIT LIST. If it is full, do not be discouraged. Check back later- you may still be able to get in.
For every workshop we have run this year, we have had cancellations because of illness or change of plans. Often even a wait list of eight names or more is moved up because "life changes things." However, if you are on the wait list and change your own plans, please do not hold your space in the queue. Please take your name off the wait list and let someone else have a chance. Be kind to your colleagues and remove your name if you have a change of plans.
