Intellectual, emotional, restless, dogged, loyal, selfish; Kandinsky was an artist - and a man - of contradictions. This genre-defying painter didn't pick up a brush until he was thirty years old. He was an academic with a promising career that he threw away to explore the arts. He was a Russian, yet he spent more than half of his life on the road, and died in self-imposed exile in France. As an artist he is credited with history's first abstract painting, but it was his theories that had a profound and lasting impact on the way that people understand and value what art can achieve. Richly illustrated with specially commissioned artworks and 20 of Kandinsky's major works, This is Kandinsky forms the perfect introduction to the life of this revolutionary figure in twentieth-century art.

Super fun free event!! I loved painting a pumpkin. Could have used a bit more instruction on where to get materials but regardless, it was great for a free event!
This was a wonderful workshop! I enjoyed learning from the instructor. She helped make everyone feel comfortable and confident no matter their skill/experience level. My feedback for improvement would be surrounding the preparation of materials. It felt a bit last-minute or scattered. There weren't enough paper towels and we each only got one paint brush of one size. I also think that maybe some background music would have been nice. The room got very quiet at several points which felt awkward.
Alanna was wonderful! Very knowledgable and entertaining. Would definitely take another workshop with her. I wish there was a starter kit in art noise that i could buy to continue this kind of art at home

Beautiful
I bought this pencil for doll cheeks. It worked beautifully and was easy to apply in just the right area and size! Very pleased. Would definitely buy again.

Tri Art Retarder
Great Product, since I paint smooth canvases with little texture, I need a lot of open time to blend the paint and this retarder works great.

High viscosity paint
I have been using Tri-Art High Viscosity paint for a number of years now and love how versatile it is. I can add retarder to increase the open time for increased blending on my large scale artwork where the paint is smoothly applied. It is also perfect for plein air impasto work. Thank you for this amazing Canadian product.
