In this inspiring three-week workshop, discover how small studies can lead to big discoveries as award-winning painter Bobbi Dunlop demonstrates how beginning with quick, expressive studies can transform the way you paint. Rather than chasing detail, learn to simplify what you see, mass in the big shapes and make fresh, confident decisions that capture the essence of a still life. These energetic studies will become a playground for experimentation, proving that a painting doesn’t have to be complicated to be beautiful. By keeping your paintings simple and direct, you will strengthen your understanding of composition, value, edges and color, all the while developing a more intuitive, expressive, and confident approach to painting.
Whether you’re new to painting or looking to loosen up an established practice, this workshop will help you simplify your approach, trust your instincts, and discover the beauty that comes from saying more with less. You’ll leave with a collection of fresh studies, stronger fundamentals, and renewed confidence to bring greater clarity, expression, and joy to every painting you create.

Encouraged early on by her loving parents, and later supported wholeheartedly by her husband and children, Bobbi’s artistic journey has evolved through every chapter of her life, each stage bringing new creative depth and insight. Largely self-taught, Bobbi has also enriched her practice through study with several master artists she greatly admires.

Driven by a sincere passion for painting and learning, Bobbi brings a unique vision to each canvas. Her approach is thoughtful and intuitive, emphasizing simplicity in execution while allowing complexity in meaning. Though her subjects are diverse, her paintings consistently convey a beautiful balance of form, light, and spirit – often resonating with symbolic undertones.
In addition to her studio practice, Bobbi is a respected and sought-after instructor. She teaches both in-person and online workshops, mentoring hundreds of students through a refined curriculum focused on foundational principles and joyful, purposeful painting. Her teaching style reflects her own learning path – accessible, engaging, and grounded in a love for the craft.

Her paintings are held in private and corporate collections across Canada, the U.S., and the United Kingdom.
