 Bridgewater, just north of Tweed, on the banks of The Scoottamata river, has been an art school, and artist's retreat since the 1960's/ I feel fortunate to have been able to reserve this picturesque spot for my annual "Autumn Colours" workshop.
Compose and paint vibrant fall scenes in the environs of Bridgewater.
Discover the joy of painting rich autumn colours in "plein air". Brief group instruction daily sets the focus for the day's subjects followed by individdual instruction and instructor demos at at a variety of "on location" sites close to Bridgewater. Plenty of studio time is also allocated for help putting in those all important finishing touches.
Instruction will emphasize; composing alluring landscapes; using a variety of techniques for capturing the realism, impression, or mood of the students' chosen subjects; and achieving colours and values that "make" a painting.
While Donna paints primarily in watercolour, the instructional emphasis of this workshop is suitable for all media.
Beginners are most welcome.
Instructor's fee should be made out to Donna Bonnin in the form of cheque or cash in the amount of $160.00.
