Day 5 Residency Week 2016 with Justine Lasdin Springer

Residency has finally come to an end.  It was a fantastic week with much inspiration and great workshops.  Thanks to all the wonderful teachers.  It was awesome meeting all the new artists and great seeing all the returning artists and renewing friendships.

Today we met at "Art Brulant and Impressions" in Shawville and dropped off our artwork for the exhibition.  The vernissage is later this afternoon and runs until August 6, 2016.

We spent the day at Leslie Lake at Venitia's.  I really enjoyed the workshop with Justine Lasdin Springer and a few dips in the lake.

I love Artist Residency Week - looking forward to next year!

Day 4 - Residency Week 2016

Our destination today was on Calumet Island at a private beach - what a great place to paint.  A nature-based plein air workshop "River Stories" with Rob Hinchley and then dinner at Dale's.

Day 3 Residency Week with Kate Strickland, Laurie Foster Macleod and Margaret Grothier

Sorry I missed out with Kate and Casting with paper pulp.  I heard it was fun.

I also missed sketching with Laurie Foster MacLeod

But I was able to attend Acrylic Abstract with Collage with Margaret Grothier

Supper at Cafe 349

Day 2 Residency Week - with Holly Dean

What a great day spent with the lovely Holly Dean teaching us to paint layers in mixed media and then supper at Carolyn's in the beautiful Hide-Away Bay. 

Some of Holly's art - love it!

 Great tip for making a palette with paper towels and tracing paper.  Wet the paper towels with water and a few drops of vinegar.  Put tracing paper on top.

Holly's fav color

some other nice colors

Great tip here using tissue paper on top of Dap before pressing in stamp.
