Neil Broadfoot Workshop - Burleigh Falls 1-3

Today is the first of a three part workshop with Neil Broadfoot at the Kawartha Artists' Gallery and Studio on how to sketch and paint moving water on location and in the studio.














Burleigh Falls 1 SOLD

We were shown the basic equipment that is required to sketch and paint in the field.

How to pack and keep everything fairly light and compact to make things easy to carry and set up with the least amount of effort.

The rest of the morning consisted of demonstrations using black and white conte or chalk to capture the lights and darks on a mid tone paper for value sketches and for us to do a few practice pieces.

In the afternoon the various media was discussed and demonstrations using charcoal, conte, pastel, watercolour and acrylic paint for quick colour paintings to go along with the value sketches to make it easier when you return to the studio to complete a larger painting of what captured your attention outdoors.

The pictures shown here are all 9" x 12” original conte drawings and are available matted and shrink wrapped for $40.00 each.
