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.

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.

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.
