Virtual Demonstration Classes ~ Meet artists from other communities
Online Zoom Classes – July & August, 2025
July 8 ~ Willow Tree by the water
We happen to have some beautiful willows along the waterfront walking path in West Kelowna. I took some great photos one morning with the light coming through the willows. They are quite full and I captured filtering light as well as a lovely reflection. Standing in the shadow of the huge trees was cool and a made me feel very small.
July 15 ~ Cascading water
This is a favourite topic of mine. Give me moving water, rocks, and cascading water and I’m a happy painter! I have painted this topic many times and I find that they all evolve a little differently; no two are the same. They are each unique because of the colour in the water, the movement, and the reflections from above, which all play a part in the scene.
July 22 ~ Peach Season
After a few years of no peaches available in the Okanagan valley because of various weather events, I thought I would celebrate the season by painting peaches. I can’t remember the last time I painted this delicious fruit!
July 29 ~ Bridge over a creek
I have not painted this little walking bridge over this creek in West Kelowna before. I took a photo one morning that captured a lovely mood with some reflections on the water under the willow tree. There were some beautiful flecks of light that captured my eye. I am looking forward to demonstrating this quiet scene.
August 5 ~ Palette Knife Evergreen on a cliff
As I hike, I am always taking photos of trees in unusual places. I thought I would choose one of those special hardy trees for this palette knife demonstration. The shapes of these trees are always so unique because of where they are located. In this class you will hear “Use More Paint”.
August 12 ~ Clothesline with Towels
I enjoy hanging clothes out on my line. I thought a clothesline with summer towels might be a fun painting to demonstrate. The patterns and colours are so much fun. In the meantime I will have to go shopping for some funky ones.
August 19 ~ Fall Forest Road
This scene has a low horizon line. When I took the photo, I squatted low to capture a different perspective on the road. It is a great idea to try different positions when you are taking photos. Sometimes you will discover a new way of looking at that particular topic.
August 26 ~ Golden Tamaracks
This class will inspire you to get out to where the tamaracks grow. When the time is right — usually October — you will have a class under your belt to tackle the golden glows of the tamarack. Many variations of golds, bright yellows, and lime greens in the early stages of them shedding their needles will be explored in this class.
See you online soon!
I am always looking for your input for future classes. Please submit your suggestions or requests for July before June 10th.
