Workshop - Hudson’s Bay Blanket Online Watercolour WorkshopWith Brittney Tough

Through watercolour, we will be shining a new light on the most iconic Canadian blanket!
In this two-part workshop, we will be using the classic Hudson Bay Blanket as a reference for our watercolour paintings on paper. With its combination of white and bold colour, it’s the perfect subject to learn how to make your whites sing and your colours vibrant.

On day one, we will use glazing techniques and colour theory to paint dramatic whites.
We will focus on value and the use of subtle colour and nuances of reflected light.
On day two we will paint the bold Hudson Bay stripes using wet on wet techniques.
From light to dark, this painting will unfold as a lesson on painting fabric folds, and even more so, demonstrating how vibrant and bold a watercolour painting can be.

Brittney has BFA from Alberta College of Art and is the winner of many awards including from CSPWC Open Water International Exhibitions and Women in Watercolour International Exhibitions.
