Gibson's B.C. Workshop - July 2010

Here we are in Gibson's B.C. near the ocean.

Hi all, it has been far too long since I posted a blog. I have been away teaching and painting and would like to share some of these experiences with you. On July 11, I flew to British Columbia to spend a week conducting a plein-air workshop in the beautiful coastal town of Gibson's. I had no idea what to expect but it didn't take long to realize that this was indeed a special place. Here are some photos of where we painted and a couple of examples of my demos. 

This the great view from our vantage point.

I decided to have a bright red ground in this particular painting.

The finished demo

I have to thank all of the participants in this workshop and in particular Vicki, Isobel and Louisa for their time and attention to make my visit very special.

Here we are at Georgia Beach.

Here is the final stages.
I did embellish the flowers on the rocks to establish a point of interest.
