About the Instructor — Luc Boivin:

Luc Boivin is a self-taught painter-illustrator. He’s been drawing since a very young age, inspired by his grand mother’s oil paintings. His curiosity allowed him to progress rapidly in numerous mediums.

In search of spontaneity, he took his first steps in watercolor in 2015. Quickly seduced by this medium which offers immense possibilities, his progress is rapid. In 2016 the magazine Leisure Painter in UK publishes an article about one of his paintings.

In 2020, he’s invited to exhibit a painting at the international exhibition Fabriano in Aquarello in Italy, in the Canadian pavilion.

It’s his relentless hope of seeing his subjects come to life on paper or on canvas that drives him. When he approaches the portrait, his main objective is to translate the emotion of the gaze while maintaining spontaneity through the play of shadows and light without losing himself in the fine details that characterizes photorealism. His creative process goes through visualization, exploration and experimentation without limits or guidelines regardless of the medium or technique used.

Because of his enthusiasm for this medium, his determination and his desire to share his passion, he regularly presents demonstrations and workshops of his technique.

About the Demo:

This demo will show you how to paint people in watercolor with bright and vibrant colors while saving the white of the paper and focussing on key essential elements without getting lost in every little details. Its all about trying to keep things as simple as possible while working in a way to maximise spontaneity with a touch of looseness and making sure to convey movement and emotion.

There will be a demonstration and discussion to explain my approach which will be the same used by the participants. All questions will be answered during that period.
