November 13th 2024-Mary-Ann Gordon
In this demo, Mary-Ann Gordon will speak on ‘the positives of negative painting’. Negative painting is an effective and dramatic way to introduce depth to your work. Join her in exploring a little of the history of negative painting and watch as she demonstrates adding depth and visual interest to a watercolour painting.
Mary-Ann has indulged her passion for watercolour for close to 40 years, and is always excited to share her knowledge and enthusiasm with others. Her work has metamorphosed from extremely representative interpretations of nature, landscape and flowers to freely intuitive work designed to evoke movement and emotion.
