Workshops for 2024
Composition Workshop - Date: February 16,17/2024
Time:9:30-3:30 Place: Valleyview Community Hall Cost:$220.
The time spent creating a strong Compositional Design for your paintings is vital! Have you ever gone on trip without an idea where you were going?
In this workshop I'm going to take you on the journey of composing a painting from the very first 'Idea' you have on through to the finished piece! Yes, there will be thinking involved, thumbnails and sketches but for a very good reason. So much of a design is about placement of objects and values. Colour is just the icing on the cake.
My hopes are that by the time you pick up your brush you'll have much more confidence and will be able to focus more on having fun!
My goal is to have the class complete two small 'Strong' paintings that they have composed from beginning to end.
Class limited to 12 students.

Watercolour- Date: January 27, 2024
Time 9:30- 4:00 Place: Parkview Activity Centre Cost $110.
Painting in watercolour is so much fun! Watching the pigments flow and mingle together on the paper is fascinating and scary all at the same time. In this workshop my goal is to take you through the techniques that will help you paint more confidently and find more control with this dreamy medium. We'll paint these two smaller pictures step by step.
For a fee of $20. I offer the use of my paints and brushes.
