My style is representational. I like to take a landscape or represented scene and interpret it in my own style, colors and marks to create a painting whether it’s from a photo or on location.

I approach a scene by working out the composition on a sketchpad and looking for the shapes and values that will make an interesting composition.

Techniques you’ll learn...

Working with a watercolour under painting. We will experiment with watercolour and see how pigments blend into each other, drip and layer. We will spray sections with water for a touch of sparkle once the watercolour starts to dry. I’ll spend a little time going over the use of watercolour on sanded paper for the beginners. It takes a little practice to get the right amount of pigment and water.

I will use 16 Unison Colour Pastel half sticks and go over how different hues of the same value can be layered without finger blending for a beautiful clean look. I will spend a little time grouping colours of similar value together and demonstrate the layering process.

I will start by working with the wide edge of the pastel stick and lightly applying pastel to the entire painting. As we build each layer, our marks will get smaller and more precise. The fun part is ending with the bright pops of eye candy to finish the painting!
