Ottawa Tulip Festival 2009

We have both submitted works to the Art Tent at the Ottawa Tulip Festival this year. I have painted in acrylics this time (they are quick drying and I had a dead-line). Also, I am one of the festival Official Artists and will be painting on both Sundays that the festival will be running. Ramin enlarged one of his favourite tulip photos taken in 2006, he's especially excited about this one because he caught the tulips around 5:30 am before the sun could dry up the morning frost. Hope to see you at the tulip festival.

This class teaches basic techniques for drawing portraits. We will begin the course working with pencils, develop skills with conté, and work our way up to coloured paper and pastels. It is not only the new techniques that will be learned and applied, yet how we learn how to see light and shadow that will help us draw wonderful portraits.
