Queen Mary 2 Watercolour Workshops a Success!

So happy to return from my second excursion teaching watercolours to passengers on the Queen Mary 2! The cruise ship left the Brooklyn Cruise terminal November 26th for an Eastern Caribbean voyage and returned December 8th.
The watercolour classes began with colour theory and  information about paints, paper and brushes. Many techniques were introduced each day and the passengers finished some wonderful bookmarks, poppies, negative painting, pelican and northern lights.

The highlight of this cruise was an Art Exhibition of all the great watercolours at the end of the cruise. For beginner artists, I was so pleased with everyone's art work!
Here are some pictures of our Art Exhibition on the Queen Mary 2:

"Paisley Bridge" painting by Bev Morgan

Accepted as one of the featured Artists for 2018 Art Map Calendar

 

The story behind the painting....
 On a Canoe trip down the Saugeen River a few years ago, I quickly photographed our landing at the Paisley Bridge. There were already two canoes landed and a few still paddling behind me.
This inspired my watercolour and batik painting which was done on rice paper.
When I was asked how this was created, my answer was not a simple one. Rice paper does not take watercolours too well, so I used around 12 layers of wax (alternating watercolours and melted wax) till it was covered. Then the painting was crumpled carefully, allowing the wax to fall off. Wherever the wax fell, then a dark wash was applied. All the wax is then taken off, and now I finish the painting with darker washes of paint. Lots of time and effort, but always happy with the results!!
