Virtual Demonstration Classes ~ Meet artists from other communities
Online Zoom Classes – May & June, 2025
May 6 — Palette Knife — Clouds
Painting summer clouds is something we encounter while creating landscapes. Adding palette knife techniques can create both some interesting challenges and interesting results. Learning what to layer first in the beginning is helpful. We tend to start too dark. This will be so much fun to demonstrate. Using more paint is at top of this list!
May 13 — Driftwood on the Shore
I love the abstract forms of driftwood. I look forward to demonstrating this for you. I will use a brighter palette of colour to interpret this scene. My reference is from one of my trips on our West Coast. It will be difficult to choose which one to use; I have so many terrific photos.
May 20 — Small Boat at Dusk
I took this photo while on Gabriola Island. I loved the reflection on the water as much as the boat. The boat is a small fishing boat. It was low tide. I am still trying to figure out how they get to the boat. I guess they just walk out to it.
May 27 — Pine on the Point
The white pines in northwestern Ontario are so iconic. They are one of my favourites to photograph. The wind-swept branches are so much fun to paint. The hard part is knowing how to simplify those branches. It is so easy to overdo them.
June 3 — Tree Stump
Tree stumps have so many shapes and colours. I love all the movement in the bark. I love painting stumps with a rich colour palette; exaggerating the colours I see. I will paint this painting in a contemporary style. I begin with a local colour block-in. Then I develop my strokework intuitively from that point on. It is a style I seem to be drawn to when I paint tree stumps.
June 10 — Light in the Forest
The light in the forest is mesmerizing. I love standing there listening to the sounds and watching the light dance. I take many photos with the intention of deleting a few once I get home. I never seem to be able to delete them! I will be demonstrating a summer scene, so, there will be lots of greens explored.
June 17 — Misty Silhouette
The west coast is often embraced by fog; especially in the morning. I have experienced this in northwestern Ontario too. When the air and the water meet, this can be a common occurrence, no matter where you live. In this class, I’ll demonstrate the mood of one of those misty mornings. Paddling into the mist can be so peaceful and eerie at the same time. Every sound you hear echoes across the water provoking mystery of what lies ahead.
June 24 — Summer Soltice
In this demonstration I will celebrate the sun. With this class being on the 3rd day of summer, I thought it would be the perfect topic. The setting sun with a lake will be the reference for this class. I imagine myself camping, sitting by the camp fire; relaxing after a day out on the water. Reflecting on the memories created. Living in the moment.
