Ideal for those just beyond beginner learners of watercolour who want to develop their skills to the next level. Artist, Danielle Beaulieu is the guest instructor for this special watercolour workshop, who teaches you how to paint this delicate icicle and create the transparency required.. She will guide you through the process for achieving a complete painting. You have the option of adding-on a materials set (which includes paint, paper), helping you save money and time. The workshop livestream will be held via Zoom, and is limited to 30 students to ensure everyone gets a chance to interact with the instructor and get meaningful feedback. This workshop is an excellent way to further your existing watercolour skills, by applying them with a bit more complexity. The learning environment is friendly, respectful, and supportive.

During this workshop we will practice effective time management. This means that we will focus on doing the more important parts of the painting. Participants may need to finish this icicle on their own time.

Prior to the start of this workshop, participants must apply masking fluid over the entire icicle. The demo video for this available to registered participants through the Online event Page portal.

Danielle Beaulieu (Instructor)

Danielle Beaulieu began experimenting with watercolours about 7-9 years ago and is a self-taught visual artist. Her technique consists of several thin layers of transparent paint, each gently modulating the colours below. Some of her paintings can take a couple of weeks in the making. She is also a regular instructor with Da Artisti Gallery in Ottawa.

Passionate about watercolour, Danielle devotes a large part of her free time to painting or thinking about what to paint. Recently, a common theme of her watercolours has been antiques and crystal.
