Explore the art of colour, texture, and value in this playful snow scene workshop.
Join artist Debbie Milner-Lively for a fun and inspiring full-day painting workshop! You’ll create a vibrant impressionistic snow scene inspired by a charming back alley in Kamloops.
Debbie will guide you through techniques to use warm and cool colours to create balance and draw attention to your focal point. You’ll explore how to add texture, depth, and painterly character to flat surfaces — learning why value often matters even more than colour itself.
This workshop is perfect for anyone looking to loosen up their painting style, experiment with colour harmony, and complete a stunning piece in one day.

To make the most of our painting time, participants will receive the drawing outline in advance to transfer onto their canvas before class.
