“A Painterly Approach” best describes my personal style of picture making. You might say that it is a blend of impressionism, photo-realism and abstraction. 

 

Each workshop day will begin with a demonstration.   Starting with the planning process to develop a purposeful composition, each lesson will explore the benefits of traditional and/or experimental paint application. Whether capturing the subtleties of flowers, the mood and mystery of an atmospheric landscape or interpreting the quality of light in a still life, each subject will provide an opportunity to guide participants to proceed with confidence while working towards a personal painting style.   Individual attention and an insightful critique of work done will conclude each day.

 

Watercolour on Canvas

 

Using a canvas with a unique surface developed for watercolour, learn to give your paintings new life.  This forgiving support will allow you to produce works of brilliant colour that may be framed without glass. Take your watercolours to a new level!

*Essential Colours  

 

These are my personal preference of colours.  You are welcome to use your own selection as long as it includes a warm and a cool of each primary colour.                                        

 

BRUSHES

Regular watercolour brushes.  My usual choices are the same as for working on paper.

1” flat gold sable – clear handle, bevelled end

#8 round gold sable

#5 round gold sable

#4 rigger

#16 ( ½” by ½”) flat gold sable

2” Hake

2” Robert Simmons white sable – Skyflow Wash

 

CANVAS

Fredrix’s or equivalent brand prepared canvas for watercolour.  You may prepare your own surface by applying several coats of absorbent ground to regular canvas.  This is a time consuming project and frankly not worth the trouble.  Canvas size is your choice, but please, no smaller than 11” x 14”.
