About the Artist:
Michael Solovyev had a traditional academic art education in Russia, prior to coming to Canada. He had extensive experience as a head theatre stage designer, and a career as an oil painter. Michael is now renowned around the world for his watercolours – and for his ability to teach and inspire. He brings contagious energy and enthusiasm to the studio, and his students report that through his teaching, they have enhanced their learning and improved their art practice.
Whether working in oil or watercolour, the main subject he depicts in his work is the light. He believes that even a pile of rubbish with beautiful lighting can be an artwork. To learn more about Michael, visit his website: watercoloronline.com 
The Workshop:
Join us in Michael’s Master Class in Portraiture, in oils. For the first three days of the workshop, we’ll work from photos that Michael supplies. Michael will demonstrate manageable steps which you will then apply in creating a finished piece. You’ll learn the techniques needed to infuse your portraits with light and life. On the fourth day, you’ll bring a photo of your choosing, a loved one or friend. Don’t worry, if you are not able to finish the portrait yourself, Michael will finish it for you by day’s end. Although we will be working in a small group setting, you will also receive the individual attention you need.
