Neil Broadfoot Plein Air at Burleigh Falls

The group met at Burleigh Falls for the second part of Neil Broadfoot's painting rushing water workshop.

It was a cold and very windy day and I was glad that I had stopped at Tim Hortons for an extra large tea to help keep my hands warm.

Neil demonstrated sketching and how to capture the movement of the water. Then we did our own value sketches before stopping to have a hot lunch at the local restaurant. Which helped get rid of our cold fingers and toes.

Then back out into the cold to try doing colour sketches in pastel, watercolour or acrylic. I found a somewhat sheltered spot from the wind just below a rock face and set up there.

I would peek my head up over the rock edge and take a look at what I was painting and then duck back down into the shelter of the rocks. This was my end result; I added a few more details once I returned home.

Racing Clouds is an original 14" x 22-1/2” framed watercolour available for $295.00.

Thank you for coming to look at my artwork and I hope you will return often.
