DAVID LANGEVIN

Langevin’s dramatic renditions of the Canadian wilderness and his bold ‘tree portraits’ have become almost as familiar as the subject they depict. His painting style is somewhat unique using an elaborate system of layers of transparent and translucent paint, called glazes and veils, as well as a variety of texture effects that create dramatic images of his subjects.

After finishing his Bachelor of Fine Arts degree at the University of Ottawa, David spent several years perfecting his painting skills. He later obtained a Masters in Art Education degree from McGill University, specializing in methods and materials for the painter. Since 1992, he has been living in British Columbia where he finds an endless supply of inspiration for his art.

David gives lectures, writes a regular technical column for painters, consults, and conducts workshops on painting materials and techniques. His paintings are sold in galleries across Canada.
