“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.

“Rooster at Home” – acrylic on canvas, 14″x11″
The inspiration for this workshop came from our friend Anne S. Thanks Anne!
This rooster is the king of the farm, and shows off all his finery. We will use bright colours and simple brushstrokes to capture the glamorous plumage of this farm royalty.

“Rooster and Friends” – watercolour on paper, 4″x12″
As a comparison, 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.
