About the workshops

Gain confidence and competence at Grasby Art Studio. Grasby's has been offering workshops for developing artists in painting and drawing for 15 years.

Take your painting to the next level in NW Calgary. Each workshop guides you through a process for building your own original painting: a composition of your own, a colour palette you've chosen, colour harmony, a clear focal area — and the confidence to work large. You'll finish with a feature-wall piece that is entirely yours. Every theme runs as a series of 3-hour workshops: $95 each, or $360 for a four-workshop series.

These workshops are for developing artists — you've taken our beginner workshops or a drawing or painting class elsewhere, and you're comfortable handling a brush or palette knife and mixing colour.

Want the next set of dates first? Registering for a workshop doesn’t put you on our list. We send new dates and gallery shows once or twice a month — that’s all.
