February 25
“Rooster and Friends” – watercolour on paper, 4″x12″
In this workshop, we will bring back our rooster as a subject, but this time with some company. We will use our watercolour paint, both quickly wet-on-wet, and patiently with layers, to depict the fancy feathers of our rooster as he leads a parade on the farm.
March 4
“Sunset at the Cove” – acrylic on canvas, 20″x10″
In March, we are thinking about spring, but the nights can still be very chilly.
Let’s imagine we can cozy up inside in the warm home light of the village houses as we watch the sun go down.
Here we use simple, repeating brushstrokes and blends of analogous colours to create this ‘not-quite-spring’ scene.

March 25 with minimum 5 students
“Happy Pansies” – watercolour on paper, 9″x9″
Right up there with snowdrops and crocus, pansies say “spring” to me. At our house, we love to stock up on cheeky Icicle Pansies to bring some much needed colour and cheer to the garden.
In this workshop, we will work with both precision and looseness in a limited palette (or not, your choice!) to capture these happy springtime friends.
