Create a Copy! A Group of Seven Painting for Yourself with Pete Malaguti
Do you have a favourite Group of Seven painting that you would LOVE to have on your own wall? Then let’s recreate your favourite piece! Explore value sketches, transfer drawings onto canvas, and dabble in painting quick, thick strokes of paint as you learn how to get familiar with your chosen piece. Included in this class is an exhibition tour + talk with RiverBrink’s Director/Curator Debra Antoncic. You’ll have the opportunity to visit one of RiverBrink’s current exhibitions Centre and Periphery: The Group of Seven and learn more about how the group actually painted their stunning works - both their small en plein air sketches and large finished paintings! This workshop can be explored in your preferred medium: watercolour, acrylic, pastel, and/or oil. Pete will guide you in these media but please note that if you are working with oil, you must be responsible to know the various mediums and thinners etc. Note: This class is best suited for intermediate/advanced painters. You’ll need to know how to mix colours, apply your paint and how to use your mediums. This class will follow the process they used to paint the image you’ll choose to copy for yourself. Above all, this’ll be FUNN!

Replacement Animation with Cristal Buemi
Replacement animation is a fun and wacky Stop Motion Animation technique that showcases the evolution of a shape or transition between various objects. Focusing on colour, texture and size participants will explore the basics of this frame-by-frame technique in a 2-hour online workshop. Participants will be led through the setup of their home animation studio space, and learn the technical and creative steps involved in frame-by-frame animation using a free Stop Motion app. Then, through a hands on experimental approach participants produce their very own replacement animated sequences. All you need is a smartphone and tablet with the Stop Motion Studio app, plus any household items, or materials that are connected through colour, texture or shape. Join us and bring them to life the frame-by-frame way!

Wanda Koop: In Her Eyes

Erika and her daughter, internationally acclaimed painter and video artist Wanda Koop, make an emotionally searing journey back to Ukraine.
