Drawing And More
There will be 4 Classes in pencil drawing using the gesture, contour and blind contour techniques. Learn the basics of light and shadow. I rely heavily on the book "Drawing on the Right Side of the Brain" by Betty Edwards whose drawing exercises will teach anyone to draw well. We will then go onto drawing with pen and ink ( 1 class) and using an ink wash lastly, we will create paintings using watercolour and ink (1 class). Classes take place at the Trinity Presbyterian Church 1817 Richardson Side Road, Kanata ON. |

Watercolour Painting
Brenda teaches all the basics of watercolour painting from supplies and materials, watercolour washes and brushstrokes. Learn how to paint relaxing landscapes, exciting seascapes and portraits with personality. Whatever you want to paint, Brenda can show you how.
No medium can match the magic of transparent watercolor.
It has a freshness and immediacy that can’t easily be duplicated with oil or acrylics.
As it flows it has its own mind and students will learn how to adapt with unexpected changes and how to adapt and use them in their paintings.

Drawing
Brenda teaches classes in drawing. Drawing is the foundation of everything artistic. Yes I can teach you painting if you don't know how to draw but you would need to copy or trace your image from photographs. Learn how to align your hand with your eye so you can draw as your eye follows the outline of a form. Learn the basics of light and shadow. You will be able to use everything you learn here in your paintings. A good drawing in itself is a work of art.
