Workshops for 2024
Watercolour Workshop
Date: October 19 /2024 Place: Parkview Activity Centre
Time: 9:30-3:30 Cost: $110. GST included
Class Limited to 10 students
Watercolour was the first medium I studied many years ago. It has always captivated me because of the freshness and fluidity of this medium. Learning when to set it free or how to control it takes some practice. In this workshop I'll be teaching numerous watercolour techniques including the addition of opaque white mixtures making it more like Gouache.
Come join the magic and fall in love with this medium!

Figurative and Landscape Impressionism -For Oils or Acrylics

Class limited to 12 students.
Painting in an Impressionistic style is sometimes intimidating for artists. Impressionism has captivated me so much because of its freedom and spontaneous look. Painting 'Your' impression frees you to tell a more personal story.
Learning to see and simplify the shapes of value with loose brush strokes can really be freeing and amazingly fun!! Learn to use colours you love but stay true to the value design that is important in the composition.
In this course I want to teach you the thought process and techniques I use to paint a figure and a landscape in a much more impressionistic manner.
You can use your own photo references or use the ones I'll be painting from.
The goal is to finish two smaller paintings approximately 12x12ins and 11x14in.
The paintings shown here aren't necessarily the ones I'll be painting in the class but something similar.
