Mixing Colours with Viena Wroblewska - Sun May 11

When you mix colours, do they end up looking like mud? Or you can't seem to get the correct tone or shade of colour you are looking for? Don't know why your mixed colours turn out dull? In this workshop you will get to 'play' with your paints. You will learn which colours are warm or cool in relation to one another; how to mix vibrant or dull colours, depending on your needs; etc.

How to push the light and develop mood in Watercolour with Reha Sakar - Sat May 24 & Sun May 25

Everyone has similar issues with watercolor and this is discouraging. Rehar will show you how to approach different subjects in one way so that nothing would look scary and hard. There are simple steps to follow and understand while working in watercolors. When you understand this, watercolors will be looking easy for you. We will make a painting each day. We will practice how to push the light and just focus on the mood instead of the subject.

Painting Skies in Watercolour with Marney-Rose Edge - Sat June 14Marney-Rose Edge - Sunset

Have fun experiencing the beauty of watercolor. Working wet in wet in a semi controlled application allows magic to happen.

We will paint 2 or 3 versions of sky in this workshop. A sunset creating back lighting, a stormy sky for a moody, brooding sky and if there is time a sunny day blue sky with clouds. Keeping the foreground simple as the focus is on the sky.  The workshop includes being able to combine images taking the inspiration of a sky from one photo into a different landscape of another photo.

Marney-Rose Edge is a signature member of the Canadian Society of Painters in Watercolor and a Signature member of the Federation of Canadian Artists and elected member of the Society of Canadian Artists.
