The Vancouver Visual Art Foundation invites you to get creative with our online art classes. We feature talented artists from our incredible Art Vancouver to teach their skills online.
Tsawwassen Landscape
Boundary Bay is one of the favourite places for residents living in the Greater Vancouver area. It has everything: a sandy beach, the ocean, a bird conservation area, bike trails, hike trails, and a beautiful wild atmosphere. Elena Nahum Leroy, your instructor, painted a scenery of that magnificent place, and now you have a chance to paint a similar one in acrylic, with wide brushstrokes and balanced colours.
