In Person – London, Ontario

Date: Thursday, October 24th

Time: 9 am to 3:30 pm

Place: Village Green Community Church – use lower entrance (not main doors) off Village Green Ave. Our location has lots of large windows and each painter has their own large table.

Media: Acrylic, Water Mixable Oils (no turpentine allowed in class), or Watercolour (watercolours need a tube of white gouache)

Supplies: Find my lists of recommended art supplies here. Bring canvas or watercolour paper 12″ x 9″ to use the provided linework. Please also bring a plastic cloth for your table.

Notes: Bring a bag lunch or plan to go to a nearby restaurant for lunch. Coffee, tea, and water are supplied, please bring your own cup.

Description: This painting is a wonderful study in values. Notice the lovely shadows on the house and the colour shifts in the autumn leaves. These will be demonstrated step-by-step.

Key Concepts: Worth noting – whatever painting we are working through, I always share colour mixing tips and techniques, as well as compositional tips. There is nothing like learning and immediately applying that knowledge.

“You have such a wonderful gift for breaking down the progressive skills to tackle… It’s empowering!”
