MIKE SVOB, BA, SFCA is the author of the popular book called "Paint Red Hot Landscapes that
Sell" and his book is as "red hot" as his paintings. He is a signature member of the Federation
of Canadian Artists and has been a full-time artist since 1982. This 20-year career has
allowed Mike to master all mediums. He brings his years of experience to his workshops and
strongly believes that sharing his knowledge among fellow artists and students provides only
positive results for all.

DYNAMIC COLOUR in OIL/ACRYLIC will provide the basic knowledge required to give us the
confidence to proceed in either medium. Mike uses basically the same process to paint in
either the luscious medium of oil or the versatile medium of acrylic. This workshop is for
all artists with some painting experience in any medium. Mike will share his extensive knowledge
and practical applications on composition and design, as well as techniques that allow his
students to explore and learn themselves. He is very knowlegable about products and he will
suggest a different approach to applying paint each day, which students may try if they wish.
In his paintings, Mike uses a very distinctive use of colour which draws the viewer into his
work, and he will share all of his secrets about colour and products in this workshop. Demos,
individual counselling and critiques will be included to help students to find their "artistic
muse" and to help break the "artist's block", which all painters encounter. Mike is an
excellent teacher and he has taught in Calgary for Leading Edge several times. He also teaches
regularly for the Federation of Canadian Artists in Vancouver.
Please bring your own reference material of photos and/or sketches.
This workshop will be held at the Ramsay Community Centre, 1136 - 8 Street SE, in Calgary .
