Cre8ery Auxilliary Exhibit - June 22 - Aug 4
I am currently exhibiting four pieces at the Cre8ery in the auxiliary gallery.
Airborne Project Exhibit - June 30 - July 6
The Aviation Museum in Winnipeg will be displaying all artwork that was created as part of the Airborne Project. This project was initiated as a fundraiser. Artists were invited to come out to the store room at the museum and select airplane parts to incorporate into a unique project. I chose the door off a Cessna Crane plane which I learned played a significant part in the training of pilots during World War II. My piece consists of two panels mounted in the window of the door. The back panel is a quilted panel representing the fields and the front acrylic panel has a painting of the Cessna Crane. This was a fun and challenging project.
Past Events
In this one day workshop we will explore the wonderful
medium of soft pastel. Soft pastels were used by some of history's great
artists including Edgar Degas and Mary Cassatt. You can expect to learn about
the medium including the different shapes and brands that are available. We
will also learn what some of the various surfaces are that pastel can be
applied to. We will learn and practice
the various marks that we can make with pastel and how we might use those marks
in our paintings. Once we've experimented with pastels, we will work on a small
painting. You will be taken through the process of drawing a sketch, doing an
underpainting, selecting a palette and working through your painting.
Throughout the day, various tips will be provided on other aspects of the
artmaking process including color, value, composition, etc. Come prepared for a
relaxing and fun day of art making with pastels.
