Springtime!
Spring Session is coming up fast!
Time to decide which creative endeavour to go after. Here is the new information for all my Spring Courses, Classes, and Workshops – In person and online. I will post next month about offerings for Summer and Fall.
For those who have asked, I have requested that Acrylics 2 be available in the Fall session at Auarts. We’ll see what they say – I’ll let you know as soon as I do.
I hope you find something you would love to get right into!
By the way, I was just asked about this and thought you should know – every image that I use in my marketing has been created by me and only me!

New Directions/New Works
After my last exhibit at Christine Klassen Gallery in May of 2022 – Nature of Reality – which was a lovely show with beautiful paintings, I realized that I wasn’t feeling the strength of connection to realism as much as I had been for so so very long. I didn’t really know how to go forward, so I started playing around in a sketchbook. I’ve now completed 6 of the first of my new series I’m calling Intersections/Integrations. They are Mixed Media works using primarily acrylics and collage, and whatever else takes my fancy. I have fallen back in love with playing with surfaces and textures so these are not as magical in a photo as they are in real life. They are now at Christine Klassen Gallery. I hope you go to see them and that you enjoy them.
Here come the Spring/Summer workshops and classes!
Here are my Spring/Summer art workshop & class offerings. I hope you can find something here that really suits you! Sorry for the short lead time – thanks covid!
Remember to scroll down to see everything available, including my online classes!
I hope you also feel free to let me know if there’s a particular class or course or workshop that you’d like to take from me that you don’t see listed, I’m always happy to figure something out.

Its been a heck of a year!!
From the Nature of Reality Exhibit @CKG in April/May
With all the weirdness of covid sort of, but not really past, tons of teaching and having had my wonderful exhibit at CKG in April/May, I’m relieved to have been mostly in the studio this summer trying to figure out my next phase. That always happens after I finish any body of work for a show.
I’m getting more clarity and energy, my vision is starting to form for the next big bunch of realist oil paintings. And I continue to work at my watercolour portraits and flowers – trying to find my voice there as well, so to speak.
Stat tuned for upcoming classes, workshops and even a possible new sales venue. So exciting!
Back at it – all the Workshops and course offerings for Fall 2021 – with an edit/addition!
Hi everyone! It’s been a long weird time all through covid, but Art goes on always. Here are the course and workshop offerings for Fall 2021!
As usual you can find me for ongoing in person Studio Classes at Swinton’s Art and Supplies, Studio 3, 7160 Fisher Street SE, Calgary AB, call 403-258-3500 to register, on Wednesdays 9:30am – 12:30pm and 12:45pm – 3:45pm.
edit! Oops! Forgot a couple of important classes! I have 2 Ongoing Online classes that some people are loving. Watercolour class on Wednesday nights from 7-9pm, and Acrylics class on Thursday afternoons from 2-4pm. $25/class, paid by eTransfer to lsl@lorislukasewich.com, monthly. This is a really nice option, especially during this horrible 4th wave of covid. You will need to download the Zoom app – free – onto your computer or iPad. I have further instructions if you are curious about signing up. just email me.
I’m changing venues for my in person Workshops. we will be presenting those through the Huntington Pioneers Association at the Huntington Hills Community Centre. You can contact me directly to register for those.
I will be posting more for Winter and Spring just around Christmas, so watch for that.
And now, here is what’s coming up this Fall!
We will require a proof of double vaccination for all in person classes.

$95
Simplifying flower forms and expressing their beauty in as loose a way as we can and using 3 colours to do it. Gorgeous!

Reconnect with Drawing Freedom – on Zoom!
Saturday. December 18
9:30 – 4
$95
No kid under 6 years old thinks they can’t draw. Or sing or dance or paint. I’ve taught art for over 20 years and I see folks all the time who are intimidated by drawing. I’ve also taught a Children’s Book illustration Course for a very long time. I’ve had an idea to combine my experiences with those things and offer a way into drawing freedom – or a least fun. Let’s get back to drawing like our inner 4 year olds did and have some fun doing it.
The last time I gave this workshop we had such blast. Seriously fun and not quite what you’d expect. Everyone was drawing like crazy by the end!
