“Sepia Countryside” – acrylic on canvas, 10″x10″

We begin 2025 with a visit to the English countryside by way of my Mum’s Royal Doulton plate collection.  Inspired by the beautiful sepia toned glazes of this pottery to limit our colour choices, we will create our own rural view ‘in the round’ based on this classic image.

“Ontario Woodland” – watercolour on paper, 9″x7″

Our exploration of landscape returns closer to home with this layered interpretation of an Ontario woodland in the winter.  Sunlight filters through the dense deciduous trees and catches on the water of a small stream.  Practice layering and lifting as we ‘preserve our whites’ to build this chilly forest scene.
