Workshop Demos

     The David McEown Watercolour Workshop was a huge success according to the feedback from the sixteen participants.  The workshop began on Thursday evening with a well documented talk and slide presentation, "Sharing his passion and love of art and the natural world", to quote David's biography.  He then mesmerized his audience, made up of club members and non- members, by rendering in watercolour a magnificent landscape on a full sheet of his favourite "Saunders Watercolour paper".  Truly a treat to witness.
     The following two days of the workshop, David put us all through our paces beginning with exercises in colour theory each morning,and then the group set to work with their own effort based on David's teaching.   Each day was supplemented with David painting and discussing very clearly his every stroke and use of colour for what ever mood he was painting.
     David is a fine watercolourist who charmed us all with his wit, stories and talent.  He has painted in virtually every corner of this fine country.  He has opened our eyes-wider.  The Arbutus Ridge Art Club has been blessed in the past 3 years by having artists such as Robert Genn, Jack Reid, Pat Fischer, Grant Fuller and now David McEown, among others, to help guide our brushes in search of that perfection we all seek in ourselves.
