Upcoming Watermedia Landscape Workshop by Sharon Lynn Williams


 "Elbow River Spring", 7 x 7", watercolour double matted in archival mats
$260 framed

I am about to hold another watermedia landscape workshop through Chinook Learning Services from Sept 20-22, 10 to 3pm each day (Thurs-Sat). These paintings are my demonstration paintings from the workshop I held in the spring, and never had a chance to post. We will be covering watercolour, gouache and acrylic in the class, using your choice of photo reference. Focus will be on puddling of colour for vibrant effects as well as edge control, composition and simplifying reference material to make sure your viewers will see what you intended them to see in the work.

 "Falling Creek", 10.25 x 14.25", fluid acrylic double matted in archival mats
$490 framed

This was a demonstration in fluid acrylics and how they are actually superior to watercolours IMHO! Some advantages are: you can layer and glaze without making mud, the colour remains vibrant even when dry, you can use opaque and translucent passages to make the surface dynamic, and you can frame them like an oil painting without glass. The only disadvantage that I can think of is that you can't lift them when they are dry, but heck, you can always go in with opaque media!
So if you are interested in learning how to paint glorious paintings in watermedia, you can find out more information and register online here. Please note the low price of $295!!!


Enjoy!

  1. Your landscape paintings are just fantastic. I hope that mine will start to improve. Thank you for your sentiments concerning DPW. The admin, David Marine, was so very nice about it and never thought I had done anything wrong. I will rejoin again at some point. It's a wonderful way to display our art! Thanks for your comment.

  2. Your landscapes paintings look great and I enjoyed your last post from the plein air event as well. You have been very busy and the results are great.
