SOYRA Demo & Workshops

Hi All;
Tonight I have the pleasure of meeting about 40 or 50 fellow members of Soyra; the Society of York Region Artists.  I will be sharing with them some of my painting experience, and we will be discussing the subtle differences in the choice of colours that we need to better express the changing seasons in our paintings. It seems appropriate to deal with the very Canadian landscape that we experience during the Winter months. I will discuss the need to be aware of the temperature of colours and how we apply them; the different design and fibre of brushes, and the uses of each type will also be discussed during the demo and following weeks of workshops.  I am posting some sequential images and photos of winter scenes that you can download. I look forward to being in Aurora tonight and over the following weeks with my fellow artists.
Best regards;  John.
