"Skyline at Night" - acrylic - 14" x 11"
The CN Tower, the Rogers Centre and all those high rises make a distinctive skyline for the city of Toronto. Working on a black-gessoed canvas with white and shades of blue, we will combine that skyline with the gorgeous Harvest full moon to create an iconic fall scene.

"Cacti Caravan" - watercolour - 10" x 5"
Inspired by my funny little planter, in this workshop we will explore both loose colour blending (called charging) and controlled glazing of watercolour paint to create this charming cactus illustration, which we will finish with watercolour pencil and pen.

"At the Sugar Shack with Manly MacDonald"
acrylic on canvas, 20 x 16 inches
Manly MacDonald was an artist who, throughout his long career of 'plein air painting', captured scenes of rural Ontario in an impressionistic style.
Inspired by MacDonald (but painting indoors!) we will work on this large canvas with a big brush and simple palette to create our own interpretation of an early 20th century farmer hitching up his horses outside an old sugar shack.
