Essential Watercolour Landscape – Negative Painting

Conjure the spirit of the landscape in this innovative watercolour program. Discover secrets and strategies for interpreting and simplifying the landscape as you build your painting from the ground up with overlapping bands and interlocking shapes. Keep it fast and loose as you build your paintings following a simple plan that captures the feeling and ever-changing moods of the landscape.

In this new program, we begin with an experimental underpainting using evocative colour and painterly marks to build a foreground. The skyline emerges as we reveal and conceal with intriguing passages and layers.

You will learn negative painting strategies and the successful sequencing of transparent glazes and velvety opaque to create a luxurious patina and gentle glow in your work.

Investigate the strategic placement of captured negatives and the establishment of minimal hard edges, ushering your artwork gracefully into a soft-focus. Explore brushwork techniques for creating textures and subtle transitions of delicate tints and muted hues and how to layer lost and found edges to suggest windswept meadows and distant trees.

Whether you choose to create your masterpiece on location, from your vivid imagination, or through the lens of your photographs, you’ll be captivated by this elegant, alternative approach to landscape painting that will redefine your artistic journey.

Peter Cheung – Bio

Born in Hong Kong and living in Burlington, Ontario, Peter Cheung is a dynamic Canadian Artist. His journey into the world of Art began under the tutelage of a renowned Chinese painting master, where he honed his skills in the delicate art of ink and water painting. Over time, he seamlessly integrated the swift and robust brushwork of Chinese painting into his Western Oils and Watercolours, creating an aesthetic unique to him.

Peter believes that good art should allow the viewer to look ‘into‘ it rather than just at it. This philosophy is a fundamental part of his artistic approach. Peter’s work is designed to create a connection with the viewer, allowing them to experience the energy, life force and movement encapsulated within each piece. Peter’s work showcases exceptional versatility and can be seen in several prestigious galleries, as well as various Private and Corporate collections.

Peter will talk about “How to paint a Complicated Subject or Scene“

* JIM GUMMERSON

DATE; 12 APRIL 2025

Obviously everyone wont have all these items and paints specifically BUT I think the most important is the 20 x 20 canvas and some sort of Gel medium to show how I do the impasto style. Acrylic Paints or Oil Paints: these are my suggestions but variations on these colors will work as well depending on brand of paint. I use “Golden Heavy body” paints so a paint Hue that is similar to these will be fine. • Prussian Blue • Phthalo Blue (green shade) • Phthalo Blue light • Cadmium or Quinacridone Red • Cadmium Medium Yellow • Cadmium Light Yellow • Yellow Ochre • Burnt Umber • Raw Umber • light magenta • medium magenta • a large tube of Titanium white You do not necessarily need to bring: Orange or Green paints as we will be learning to mix our own. Also any other colors you want to add. Small tub of Liquitex or Golden Heavy body Gel Medium or equivalent. - This a gel medium that we use to mix with our acrylic paint to make it thicker and extend volume of paint. There are similar products for oil although Oil doesn’t need it because it is thick in consistency already. It comes in Gloss and Matte and various thicknesses. I use “Heavy” Gloss gel but you can use “super heavy” and matte for example if you like. Brushes: • some flats and filberts 1/8 to 1” suitable for acrylics or oils • some rounds brushes, small medium and large sizes. • 1 medium size square canvas 20 x 20 inch • Palette for mixing colours • Rags or paper towel • Pencil

Kaitlin Mason – BIO

Originally, Kaitlin started college in an interior design program and later switched to the Fine Arts program at Georgian College in Barrie Ontario. After graduating, she transferred to NSCAD University in Halifax Nova Scotia, where she earned her Bachelor of Fine Arts degree. Currently, Kaitlin works out of her home studio in a small town north of Toronto.

Kaitlin’s drawings capture the essence of fabric in its current form, creating a visual record of a moment in time. She uses coloured pencils to create each of her drawings, gradually building vibrancy and saturation of the colours by adding several layers. The wood panel substrate adds additional organic detail, creating a subtle background to the fabrics, and visually pushes the intricate patterns forward.

Throughout history drawing has always been considered to be a preliminary stage before the beginning of a masterful project. Although still true, drawings can also evolve into masterful works of art, pushing the limits of the materials and thinking outside the box can result in a unique work of art. This workshop will explore a combination of coloured pencils on wood panels to draw patterned fabric. By using techniques like layering and blending, as well as troubleshooting tips, you’ll be able to create your own individual still life drawing of fabric.

Bring your own pencil, eraser, and sharpener, all other supplies (including wood panel, transfer paper, sand paper & required Prismacolor Premier Pencils) will be available to purchase the day of the workshop.
