“Suffolk Sheep” – watercolour on paper, 8″x12″
Hanging out under the apple blossoms, some fluffy Suffolk Sheep are, I’m sure, waiting to see if we have any treats to share.
Using a simple primary palette, we will wash, scrape and charge (all watercolour techniques) our way to this cheery springtime scene.

“Create your own Tom Thompson” – acrylic on canvas, 12″x12″
While Tom Thompson was not officially part of the Group of Seven, having died before the group formed, he was very much a part of their early artistic explorations.
In this workshop, we are inspired by his famous paintings of the lakes, rocks, inlets and jack pines of Northern Ontario as we use small brushstrokes and separated colours to build our own view of Georgian Bay.

“Bug’s Eye View” – watercolour on paper, 8″x6″
From the branches of a serviceberry bush, we look out at the bright spring sun and smell the lovely, tiny white blossoms. Using masking fluid and some odd tools, we will create this pretty spring scene as we practice our brushstrokes and layering.
