Here are some of the results from Terri Bowen’s workshop on portraits.
Terri Bowen conducted our October workshop on portraits. We critiqued a variety of artists, while learning from a multitude of creative approaches that record the impressions of a human face.
Our monthly critique of 12 lovely paintings was led by Rich Williams. He gave us a handout to help us make better decisions.
For the Summer Challenge, we had to create one or three paintings with the themes: Sparkling Waters; Lazy Days and Gatherings. Marilyn Strongitharm was this challenge draw winner.
Our Sept. workshop was cutting edge, palette knife painting with our very own Rich Williams.
Rich demonstrated watercolour in a forest of hands-on, loose landscapes. Everyone absorbed the demos, then wielded their own knife in a couple of small projects. Paper was provided to apply what we learned to create a final piece. Rich focused on choice of hue, use of greys, control of water, composition, knife handling, and pro-tips […]
Our last plein air for the season was held at Tom and Marie Hutton’s large property overlooking the ocean. There was some art work done, but many just enjoyed the atmosphere while visiting & snacking.
Pam Donnelly and her husband hosted plein air at their very unique, secluded setting near Neck Point Park. They generously offered us the chance to tour the inside of their self built, home of art.
Michelle Frey was the host for another beautiful summer day of plein air.
It was a beautiful summer day for plein air at Westwood Lake on the first day of August.
A small gathering met at Sway-a-Lana for plein air.
Most of us just visited , but some brave and creative members did produce some art …. with a very cool “rain shower” effect.
