Emily Carr (1887-1986)

Emily Carr was a Canadian artist and writer.  Most of Carr's early paintings portrayed the Indian cultures that she encountered on her visits there.  Most of Carr's later paintings reflected her desire to capture the spirit of the forest.

In this class we took her themes of the forest and painted them using watercolours. 

First we practiced some watercolour techniques...

from dark to light

and then learning to blend colours...

and finally the final pictures...
