Description: Oil painting is a great way to capture features, skin tones and the beauty of expressions. Learn to capture a likeness by blocking in dark and light tones and then adding the subtleties and colours that will bring it to life. Some experience with drawing faces and painting general subject matter in oils or acrylics is recommended. Supplies not included. Please see our supply list and ensure you can gather all necessary supplies before the first day of class.
Biography:
Cara Bain has a passion for capturing the faces and places that surround her. Her work explores the ways people search for meaning and find a connection with themselves, with others and with their surroundings. She is also devoted to landscape painting, both indoors (working from images) and ‘en plein air’ (painting in the great outdoors from life). She’s known for her unique combination of oil paint with copper leaf patina, unexpected colours, and expressiveness.
Cara has been an art instructor since 2016 and joined the Place des Arts team in 2018, teaching and inspiring children, teens and adults to build a solid foundation of technique to express their creative ideas. She has a Bachelor’s Degree in Visual Communication from Capilano University and over 15 years of experience in fine arts including participation in numerous exhibitions in greater Vancouver.
