Artist’s Statement:

“Many of my paintings are the result of the blending that can be achieved by using just three or four colours. Although I love to experiment with many different colour combinations, one of my favourite colour schemes includes Prussian Blue, Pyrrol Red or Quin Rose, Hansa Yellow. The range and variety that can be achieved from these colours is astounding. I look for mood and harmony in my finished painting and when I see it, I feel a sense of accomplishment.”

About the course:

“This course will introduce you to the world of watercolour painting. You’ll learn about the supplies, tools, and techniques that will help you develop your skills and your level of comfort with the medium. The course combines fundamental watercolour techniques with hands-on experimentation and painting.

During the classes, you’ll have the opportunity to ask questions, share your journey, analyze your progress, and most importantly, have fun painting!

What her Students say:

I took Pauline’s 4 week Beginner Watercolour course and learned the basics of watercolour.  She is very knowledgeable, made the class enjoyable and gave us great tips along the way.  After the course ended I was able to, on my own, paint some landscape pictures using the techniques she taught us during the course.  I am going to take the next watercolour course she offers in the fall.  Highly recommend her course if you are a beginner. – Karen
I thought Pauline was lovely.  She was thorough and very patient.  I enjoyed taking her beginner class and will, hopefully, be signing up for her next class in the Fall. – Trudy
