Mom’s Amaryllis
September 9 – This class is FULL
Acrylic, 11×14 inches
Welcome back to our Tuesday Workshops, and to my Mom’s birthday! We celebrate my lovely Mom by painting her favourite flower, her amaryllis. We will use a simple palette of acrylic paint, and be inspired by some watercolour techniques to paint this delicate yet bold flower.
Fireflies
September 16 – This class is FULL
Watercolour, 4.5×12 inches
As we head into fall, let’s look back to one of my favourite summer moments—watching the fireflies. In this workshop, we will make use of masking fluid, along with a Payne’s Grey based colour palette to depict these fascinating nighttime critters.
Moody Sky Sunflower
October 7
Acrylic, 14 x 11 inches
The cooler nights but still warm days of October can bring us some stormy skies. Let’s practice our blending and layering techniques as we contrast those grey skies with the happy face of a sunflower leftover from the fall harvest.
Wavy Sunset
October 21
Watercolour, 9 x 9 inches
The Art Deco period of the early 20th Century was known for its use of rich colour and geometric shapes. In this workshop, we will hold the Art Deco style loosely in mind as we explore colour value—its lightness or darkness—across a mosaic style sunset and a cheerful, wavy sea.
