Dates: 3-Day Workshop - April 14, 15 & 16 (Tue, Wed, Thu), 2026
Time: 10:00am to 4:00pm
Instructor: Audrey Smith | Meet our artist instructors
Level: Beginner / Intermediate
Price: $195.00 +hst | Minimum 5 Students
Discover your inner creative voice while completing a series of paintings!
This is the second in a series of five 3-Day Workshops to inspire the discovery of your artistic voice. This painting series with Audrey Smith runs once a month for March, April, May, June, and July.
Painting using acrylics, Audrey will focus on the face and the use of colour as the subject matters for this three day painting journey.
You will create a series of three portrait paintings—and surpass any limitations you thought you had (tame that inner editor; you don’t have time to listen to it!)
Using reference photos provided by Audrey, you will be painting three panels using acrylics.
While the workshop covers several subjects, i.e. tone and value, anatomy, colour, composition and techniques, it’s main focus is on the choice and use of colour.
The goal is to experiment with colour, so prepare to have fun!
Learn some colour rules, then break them!
This is the perfect class for artists either wanting to form a basis for their expressive journey and/or for those wanting to find new ways to break out.
Future 3-Day Workshops will continue portrait painting, but with a singular focus on texture, composition, typography, or ephemera.
About Audrey Smith
Audrey Smith is a contemporary figurative artist who loves painting people. “It’s really about capturing an essence or a sliver of reality.” She works in acrylic and charcoal, and her brushstrokes are unapologetically visceral and expressive. After graduating from Concordia University (Montréal, Quebec), Audrey pursued a career in graphic design. Her education continued on a workshop/class/program basis through The Academy of Realist Art (Toronto), The Toronto School of Arts, The Haliburton College of the Arts (Peterborough) and, most recently, the DVSA Advanced Studio Program (Dundas, Ontario).
Smith’s career transitioned into a professional studio practice in 2011. Since then, Audrey has had successful solo shows, most recently at Propeller Gallery in Toronto and Noodle Gallery in Alton, where she now lives. Audrey has also been a juror, a guest artist and has participated in numerous juried group shows. Audrey is looking forward to sharing her love of painting figures and faces with you and guiding you to discover your inner artist!
