Chisholm’s Mill
watercolour, 9 x 6 inches
Just outside Roslin, where Shannonville Road crosses the Moira River, you will find Chisholm Lumber, and the historic Chisholm’s Mill. Providing inspiration for many artists over the years, the aged wood and metal of the old mill makes a fantastic subject to explore different ways to create texture in watercolour.

Return to Chisholm’s Mill
acrylic, 20 x 10 inches
This month we are ‘flipping the script’ and returning to the rustic beauty of Chisholm’s Mill, but this time in acrylic.
Our viewpoint now has us on the other side of the Moira River, so we will add the textures of fast moving water to our explorations of metal and rust.

Hummingbird at Mom’s Bougainvillea
watercolour, 12 x 4.5 inches
My lovely mom and I were not the only ones who appreciated this beautiful bougainvillea vine; this little hummingbird wanted to join the club.
A bit of masking fluid, a bit of skewer engraving, a touch of colour charging, and lots of layering are some of the techniques we will explore as we work with this cheery, not-ready-for-fall, scene.
