I invite you to sign up for the Watercolour Still Life workshop
next weekend, April 18 and 19, Saturday and Sunday from 10 am to
4:00 pm at Loyalist College in Port Hope.
There are so many reasons why. The campus is charming. Just the right size.
Easy parking right at the building. The workshop is tuned to the
novice and emerging watercolourist who wants to spend quality time
without stress, honing skills at a pace that works for you. There
is a lot of choice in the subject matter. There will be lots of one-on-one
instruction and demonstrations to help you master this exciting medium.
Watercolour is a never-ending joy and fun to paint with. It travels so
easily, and with summer coming, there will be many opportunities to use it,
wherever you are. You can paint with it if you have lots of time or just a
few minutes. You can make major works or have a beautiful, intimate
sketchbook. It is superbly satisfying. There are so many tips, techniques
and ways of painting. I would love to be able to share my experience
with wonderful watercolour.

Registration is open right now at:

Following Monday is the start of the Abstracted Vase and Field Flowers in Watercolour workshop at Loyalist College in Port Hope, Ontario. This workshop is not about the accuracy of flower detail or the photographic quality of the flower rendering. It is about the thoughts and feelings behind the work, the joy of experimentation and the satisfaction of the painting process.
