Description
By popular request, we are returning to “Journeys in Watercolour” and going back to England to celebrate the early arrival of Spring. With luck we may chance upon a cloud of golden daffodils or a woodland carpeted with bluebells. So pack up your wellies and an umbrella and let’s head up to the Lake District. We’ll do quirky pen and ink sketches, lots of splishy splashy wet on wet paintings and share tips and tricks. Students can sign up for either morning, afternoon or evening classes on Mondays and have the option to switch if their circumstances require. Classes are offered on zoom with lots of instruction, practice time and interaction. Barb encourages questions and participation. Time flies by as you experience the magic of watercolour.
Beginners welcome.
Three Zoom classes Mondays ( 9:30-11:30 am, 1-3 pm, 6:30-8:30 pm)
March 10 – April 14
Zoom classroom link and password will be provided through email.

Barbara Hotson
Barbara Hotson (Honours BA, MA) lives and paints at Applegate Farm near Walters Falls. She has been painting exclusively in Watercolour for twenty years. Endlessly intrigued and challenged by the interaction of water and pigment on paper or watercolour canvas she has resisted the sirens’ call to experiment in other mediums.
She early on gravitated to painting in series and developed a sub- text for each. Her Country Roads Series depicts the landscapes of Southwestern Ontario; the culture and heritage they represent. The Beaches Series celebrates her love the water and the magic of sand and sun.; how the image of a beach brings out the child in all of us. The Gates Series is about the Transitions in our lives; how we don’t get to see what is on the other side until we pass through the gate.
Barb participates in the Autumn Leaves Studio Tour, The Escarpment Tour and teaches at Artbarn School in Toronto. Her work has been described as “magical and luminous” and her students describe her teaching as “opening our eyes to possibilities”. She enjoys doing commissions and working with a client to create something unique and special.
