Charles White's Class will end on December 18th that will be his last class and they willresume in January.
Born in Quebec, Canada in 1943, Charles displayed an early interest in art by drawing wildlife in pencil and ink at age six. By age twelve, he was painting landscapes in oil and sold many throughout his teenage years.
His 50+ years of painting are evident in his gardens and landscapes which capture nature's essence by mastering the radiant interplay of light and shadow. Charles' technique creates a luminous multi-layered work inviting the viewer into a world of tranquil beauty.
During the past 25 years, Charles has sold close to 1000 original oil paintings through major galleries; reproductions have sold in the thousands around the world.
Charles has been the subject of many newspaper and national art magazine articles. In addition to lectures and workshops, he has produced instructional videos.
He creates 30-40 paintings each year for his expanding number of collectors. In 2011, he published "The Path Worth Taking" about his life and work.
