Watch Vancouver Film School alumni Bobby Mathieson make art before your eyes during his exhibit called Natural Plotline. Mathieson will be using an Italian technique called alla prima (“at first attempt”) in his paintings. Translation: all of the paintings will be done in one session, from start to finish. The artist will be painting one piece for each of the first two days, and the exhibition itself continues until October 20.When: Wednesday, September 12 – Thursday, September 13Where: Betamax GalleryCost: FreeMore Info: facebook.com (Photo: YVR Food Fest.)
