Payne’s Landscape
watercolour on paper, 6 x 9 inches
As we work with watercolour, we often reach for the colour Payne’s Grey to modify our colours but keep their transparency. But who was William Payne, the artist for whom the colour is named? Let’s learn a bit about him by creating our own version of a softly muted landscape inspired by some of Payne’s work.

Our Modigliani
acrylic on canvas, 20 x 10 inches
Amedeo Modigliani was an early 20th century artist who developed a distinct style in his short life. Long faces with elongated noses and necks are Modigliani’s response in the era of Cubism.
We will learn a bit about this iconic and tragic artist as we create our own version of a Modigliani portrait.
May 19
Sea Turtle at Home
watercolour pencil on paper, 7.5 x 4.5 inches
Watercolour pencil is an excellent compliment to our palette of watercolour paint.
In this workshop, we will spend some of our time creating a ‘how to’ page of watercolour pencil techniques, and the rest of our time building this under-water-scape of a sea turtle’s world using tube paint, watercolour pencils, and ink.
