The Red Canoe Gallery will be presenting
a showing of Paul Garbett’s latest works on
Saturday, Aug. 6 from 12 p.m. to 4 p.m.
when you can meet the artist.
Garbett’s large wildlife works are created
in his Muskoka studio using the encaustic
painting technique, an ancient painting
method that has made a huge comeback.
This difficult technique involves mixing the
artist’s oil paints and pigments with wax
using brushstrokes created in the few seconds
when the mixture is still melted. Over a
dozen layers in different tones and colours are
then added to create amazing depth and
texture.
