Painting Skies in Watercolourwith Marney-Rose Edge - Sat June 14

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.  

Mixed Media / Collage with Roxsane Tiernan – Sat Jun 21 & Sun June 22 from 11 am to 3 pm

We all want to try new ways to improve our paintings by adding texture, colour or trying new media. Collage lets us explore many different themes in many different ways. Come explore the art of mixed media / collage with Roxsane. Bring a collection of bits and pieces of different paper or other surface enhancers to the workshop to try out. Roxsane will also explain chigiri-e (Japanese torn paper collage). Roxsane is an award winning BC artist, an international traveler and educator.
