PETER PREST

PETER PREST, M.A. in Education. Along with a career as a high school English teacher and administrator and university instructor, Peter has remained in the arts with staged plays and published books of poetry to his credit. More recently he has developed a number of exciting techniques for painting on watercolor canvas. Using watercolor and mixed media he creates strong images intended to elevate the commonplace and everyday to be viewed as special and celebrated. He has gained recognition for his use of vibrant colors and strong compositions and has presented a number of workshops on painting on watercolor canvas. He has also led "The Artist's Way" series for the past three years.

His work has been sponsored by AMA in a one-artist show called "Prime Meridian".

Peter's paintings are on display with the Leading Edge Art Gallery, the Rose Hip Gallery and can also be viewed on his website at www.peterprestart.com.

MOVING WATERCOLOR TO A NEW LEVEL is a two-day workshop on painting on watercolor canvas for students of all levels who wish to create more vibrant and immediate watercolor paintings and to push themselves to discover new approaches to this traditional medium. Focusing on the interaction between color and form, Peter will demonstrate and work with us to create exciting, expressive works in this new approach to watercolor. Working with watercolor on canvas achieves a unique quality that is unlike any other medium. Peter will also demonstrate how he incorporates mixed media into his work, and this aspect of the workshop will be optional for students. The workshop includes time for demonstrations, discussion, some personal growth reflection and lots of time for painting, as well as individual assistance.

Please bring your own reference material of photos and/or sketches. Watercolor canvases will be available for purchase at the workshop

This workshop will be held at the Ramsay Community Centre, 1136 - 8 Street SE, in Calgary .
