Demo - Helliwell cliffs- my final demo from my recent Abstracting Landscape course. I had a fabulous time working through different paths to abstraction with wonderful painters from all over the world. Such a treat to see all their different landscapes. Painting is truly a universal language!

Such a busy time of year--finally got into my studio today to make some cards. Here's what I got up to.
I used a big piece of paper, taped off into card sized sections. I drew the branches, leaf and berry shapes with Pebeo drawing gum. Then I dragged thin Quinacridone gold paint across the paper, spraying and lifting for texture. Added more layers of other colours (cobalt blue, Quin. magenta, Cad. yellow medium.) Then lifted the drawing gum and worked inside the stems and berries with reds, yellows; added some darks to the backgrounds, and splattered with white. I was excited to use the little mats that I have had in my studio for awhile to mat the cards, to create a card which is also like a little matted painting.

I know a lot of you like to make your own cards. Would love to see them!

DRAWING NATURE!
Have you always wanted to learn to draw and to keep a nature journal?

I am happy to offer this course in support of Raincoast Conservation Foundation.

Drawing Nature includes three live Zoom demos, plus notes on materials and techniques. It is designed to help you jump into drawing and painting nature. You will learn some simple techniques to help you make quick and accurate drawings. You’ll find out about different materials: pencils, pens,pencil crayons, and watercolour, to bring your drawings to life. Plants, shells, bones, feathers, stones, trees and clouds—they can all be captured in quick sketches. Not only is drawing a wonderful way to be “in the moment” but a vivid record of travels, hikes, or even home.

Join me for three live Zoom demo sessions:

3 Wednesdays 1:00- 2:30 pm, November 12, 19, 26.

All sessions will be recorded and available until December 15.

Registration is now open. See link to my website page, in comments.

This course has a value of $175 CAN; In lieu of a registration fee, please donate what you can to Raincoast Conservation Foundation (also linked to my website page, in comments below.)
