Scott Rubie will be doing the demo. He is a self-taught artist working primarily in acrylic. Most recently he has been focusing on landscapes often with water features. Light and colour are principle elements he looks for to capture the beauty and intimacy of the moment while at the same time trying to be true to the scene.
Scott sees himself in a period of exploration and growth both with the medium as well as style. His work is constantly evolving as he experiments with technique and subject. He is always searching for that emotional equation that ties the viewer to the scene through his painting.
Now retired from teaching, Scott is able to devote more time to his painting. He has a studio in his home outside Renfrew. Scott has shown his paintings at a number of events and more recently participated in the McMichael Gallery Annual Plein Air competition Exhibition.
