Moody Sky Sunflower
October 14
Acrylic on canvas, 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 on paper, 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.
Seagull Pier
November 4
Acrylic on canvas, 11 x 14 inches
On our travels this summer, we had the good fortune to visit Blind River in Northern Ontario. A bit along from the beautiful new marina and park was this rustic little pier which seemed to be reserved for the seagulls. Come and practice creating perspective, painting wood effects and dotting in those cheeky gulls.
Fishpond
November 18
Watercolour on paper, 6 x 9 inches
Take a step out into our backyard and say hello to the fish. In this workshop, we will investigate a few different ways to paint rocks and a little waterfall with watercolour and a few other cheeky materials, and of course, add some cute brushwork goldfish into the mix.
