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...

Waterpaint books camp 2011

the campers painted an A3 paper using water paints diluted applied with sponges.  the had a choice of either making patterns with the sponges on the page or brushing straight lines across.  when it dried we folded then in half, added A4 paper inside, punched holes and used wool to attach.









 And this one, Adina decided to leave as a full page and not fold in half
