Wild Coast Trees
A mixed media class featuring the wild trees of Vancouver Island in drawing, painting and journaling.
Welcome to the Wild Coast
A mixed media art class
Here on wild and beautiful Vancouver Island, I’m surrounded by a coastal temperate rainforest. There are stunning cedars, sitka spruce, douglas firs and shore pines in the forests that meet the edges of the sea. Whether is a rainy day or the sunshine is sparkling off of the waves, I take pleasure in gazing at the windswept trees when I’m out walking or meditating at the beach. For me, trees represent strength, interconnectedness, resilience, and grace.
In this mixed media class, we will focus on the beautiful and unique characteristics of coastal trees. Working with the image of a tree, in different projects, using a variety of media, gives us the opportunity to play, iterate and evolve. You will learn how to create with watercolour, pearlescent colours, Neocolor II water-soluble pastels, technical pens, and collage on paper and wood panel in these lessons.
Join me for a creative adventure on the wild coast!
