Watching the Train at Tottenham
acrylic on canvas, 14 x 11 inches
When my boys were young, they were massive Thomas the Tank Engine fans, so we took them on an outing to Tottenham, Ontario to spend the day at the heritage South Simcoe Railway. Join us at the Gallery to explore colour harmony through how we mix, and layer, our paint, as we recreate this charming scene.
June 16
Steam Train
watercolour on paper, 12 x 9 inches
One of the hallmarks of watercolour painting is how it moves on a wet surface. In this workshop, we make use of this wet-on-wet technique, investigating how it blurs, smudges and blends the paint in unpredictable ways, to create this steam-surrounded engine.

Young Highland Cow
acrylic on canvas, 11 x 14 inches
Native to the Highlands of Scotland, this distinctive breed is known as much for its curious and friendly nature as it is for its long hair and short stature. Join us in this workshop which will see us do a deep dive into dry brush texture, and layering, to create our young shaggy friend.
