Thoughtful Design & Mindful Painting
Painting a landscape isn’t just about what you see, it’s also about how you think & feel as you create.
Join Mastrius Mentor Andrew Sookrah, winner of the prestigious Mary Pratt Crystal Award from the Society of Canadian Artists, for a LIVE landscape DEMO that blends thoughtful technique with genuine artistic presence.
Andrew will walk you through his step-by-step painting process as he creates a dramatic landscape painting using a photo reference. As he works, he’ll highlight the value of staying present with your thoughts and emotions while creating, showing how mindfulness and structure come together to strengthen your work.
You’ll learn how to:
- Strengthen drawing techniques to support your landscape work
- Use pattern, color, line, and texture for greater impact.
- Work step-by-step to create your own artistic process
- Use light, negative space, and control movement to create dramatic depth.
This is your opportunity to watch a master at work, ask your questions live, and unlock new skills for your own studio practice.
As always, Mastrius events are LIVE & INTERACTIVE!
