 “ From Sketch to Watercolour” Drawing/Painting with Watercolour
Larry Cromwell

Sketching in pencil and painting in transparent watercolour with Larry Cromwell on location in the Crowsnest Pass, September 11 and 12, 2010. This weekend is designed for those with some basic watercolour experience as well as the more practiced. Beginners are welcome as you can certainly profit from the experience of others.

For something a bit different, the workshop will take the participants through the process of sketching with pencil one’s initial observations and ideas prior to painting, giving some thought to what we intend to do before we actually “engage the clutch”. Introducing the notion of giving thought to the process of making art and to the transparent use of the watercolour media.

About the Instructor
Larry is Professor Emeritus Art, University of Calgary, having retired the end of 1999 after nearly 30 years teaching in the Department of Art. In addition, Larry is a long standing member of the Alberta Society of Artists, Past President and long serving Provincial Council member. As your instructor he will share his expertise and enthusiasm for watercolour based upon his long and successful tenure as both artist and teacher. Guided by traditional values in the technique of transparent watercolour and long association with the natural environment he continues to create his own work and to share with his students. Currently, Larry and his wife are nearly finished building a studio and residence near the Crowsnest River to be nearer to what he loves.

The Creative Process – Painting Workshop -All materials/All skill levels

Barbara Amos

We will be exploring the ideas of multiples in this workshop. Frequently an idea is worth developing in more than one way. Pattern, shifts in colour or composition can highlight a creative sequence. Whether we work with abstraction or realism, spontaneously or methodically, we benefit from understanding and identifying the pathways into our creativity.
There will be various short drawings & paintings designed to open up the creative process. A larger finished work can be developed over the weekend, or a series of smaller related panels could also be considered. All skill levels welcome.
