Workshops
take place at Dragonfly Ridge Studio and out on location at sites on the
Bruce Peninsula. Watercolour workshops are with Lin Souliere, award
winner at the 2007 Canadian Society of Artists in Water Colour Annual
Exhibit, and First Prize Award Winner at 2008 Bruce County Juried
Exhibit.
Lin's approach to watercolour includes:
importance of composition, know your colours and what they can do, and
put yourself into your work. "Copying someone else's style does not
allow your own unique style to grow. I will show you the path, but you
must walk beside me, not behind me. All of us has something valid to
express and watercolour is the perfect medium to do this. Learn to look
at the light, see the subject and discover the message. For my own work,
light and glowing colour help me create compositions that speak of my
connection with nature and spirit."
