Lalita Hamill Workshop - October 5/6, 2024
Register Today! Members and Non-Members Welcome!
We are bringing Lalita to you in October to further our very popular Foundation Skills Program. This weekend workshop will be all about "Working from Photographs”. In this workshop we will explore the many possibilities in which the found photographic image can be translated into the painted image. Participants will assess photos by others as well as their own. We will discuss the selection of visual reference sources in order to ensure the participants are using images most likely to set them up for success; this depends on things like their technical skill level, style, and other factors. Utilizing the photo as a tool and source of reference, and not as a mere copying device, participants will broaden their composition and painting skills. The aim will be to interpret the image, disregard the ‘lies’, and transform the flatness of the photographic image through the tangible and flexible nature of paint. Students will walk away with a greater sense of understanding and confidence when taking, choosing, and interpreting their visual references.
Dates: October 5/6
Time: TBA
Location: The Old Courthouse, 7 Seymour St. W, Kamloops (upstairs)

ABOUT LALITA
Lalita Hamill is a professional fine artist living in Langley, BC, Canada. She discovered her artistic abilities as a young adult during the final year of her Philosophy degree at the University of Victoria. Subsequent years of drawing led to four years of study at the Vancouver Academy of Art, where she received instruction by classically trained painters.
Lalita specializes in oil and is also skilled at acrylics, watercolours, and drawing media. She is most well known for her award-winning figures, portraits, and still lifes. By exploring the human condition through emotive figures and narratives, Lalita's artwork inspires viewers to reflect on who they are, how they relate to their environment and others, and what really matters. With over thirty years teaching experience, Lalita is a well respected teacher, mentor, and art assessor. On account of the success of her contemporary atelier program at her studio in Walnut Grove, Lalita was asked to design the Foundations Program for the Federation of Canadian Artists.
