Welcome to the new world. Although we would much prefer to present courses live and in person as we’re used to, we are very excited to try to communicate the joy of creating art in our virtual classroom. Wayne’s course is the first in our brave new way of doing things. So please bear with us as we get all the elements right.
In our beginning stage we have opted to run a one-day course with Wayne. It won’t be as intensive as the four-day one of course, but we hope that you find it as rewarding in its brevity.

The purpose of the course is to have the artists express an idea through a painting medium. The workshop involves approaches to painting and presentation, use of materials, tools, critical thinking, manners and methods of expression and signification, editing, and processes of application in formulating meaning through paint. The objective of the workshop, through preliminary explorations and studies is to create a responsive dialogue between the artist and their paintings in bringing essential elements of signification and process into a final work(s).

To get the best out of your time with Wayne, we would encourage you to try and embrace the technology that will best enhance this experience.
As you can imagine, the set up in your studio will be really important. We will be using the Zoom meeting room as our virtual classroom. You can get by with just a laptop or desktop computer with its built in camera and microphone. However, to take the best advantage, you might want to consider the following:
• Connecting your computer screen to your large screen tv to see better the demonstrations and the work of the others
• Using a good wireless headset with microphone • Video camera capable of working in tandem with you computer cam. This would allow you to focus one camera on your work and save your laptop for your personal close-up connection.
• Make sure you have good lighting both on you and your work.
There are so many inexpensive sources for equipment that getting set up is not that expensive. And besides, you never know how many other courses you might take or meetings you might attend.

The recipient of numerous grants from provincial and federal agencies including a Canada Council Established Artist Grant in 2001, other key professional successes include winning the 2004 juried competition to execute the mural entitled Réveil for the new Interpretation Centre at Grand-Pré National Historic Site. Boucher became a member of the Royal Canadian Academy in 2002. In 2012, “Drowning in Colour” http://vimeo.com/71404777 was the first comprehensive documentary to be made about the Art of Wayne Boucher, and was directed and edited by Alan Collins. In 2014, three of his paintings were selected in a Foreign Affairs Canada design competition for meeting room carpets in the redecorated Nova Scotia Room, Pacific Room, and a Reception area at Canada House, London, UK. http://youtu.be/YrLDOQNEszU

The title of the course, “Painting from the Inside Out”, is perfectly suited. That’s exactly what I was looking for and Wayne delivered. He goes above and beyond!
