2025 Workshop

In early March, we had our first workshop in years! A dozen of our group took part in that creative weekend lead by Wendy Mould from British Columbia. The subject was « New ways to mix pen and watercolour » and we all learned a lot. We worked on 3 pieces, practicing pen/ink work and focusing on shadows and color tones. It was fantastic, and we can't wait for future workshops!
