A small plein air gouache today, 10”x7”. Rissers Beach, a little fresh water stream dances and sparkles its way towards the salty sea.

What did I do today? I created this little gouache painting taken from a photo I took along the south shore. 7.5” x 7.5”. #gouache #gouachelandscape #gouacheart #gouacheartwork #gouachepaintings #gouacheartist #gouacheonpaper #novascotiaart #novascotialife #landscape_lovers #landscapeartist

Is that green grass! So jealous in Halifax, NS.

Yeah, like what’s that all about? Just asking from Canada.

The process. Prep, art mapping = good paintings. Thumbnails and colour stories prior to painting are your guides through to a finished work. #thumbnails #colourstories #artmapping #prep #acrylicpainting #landscape #fineart #canadianartist #contemporaryart #impressionism

I’m a Nova Scotia artist living and creating in Lunenburg

Who’s the artist?

Small gouache today. Taken from photo I took on West Ironbound Island during my artist residency there. Other than two artists, the only other residents on the island was a flock of hardy sheep. #gouachepainting #gouache #sheep

Demo from today’s workshop, painting with acrylics on watercolour paper. One of my favourite substrates to use with high flow acrylic, the way the paint reacts to the paper is magical. I pre-mounted the watercolour paper to a birch panel. #acrylicpainting #highflow #landscapepainting #demo #ocean

Perfect.

I’m on a learning curve this past year with gouache. I love how convenient, light, and transportable this medium is, especially when plein air painting. So far, I’m loving it. This is a little 6x6 of Stonehurst, NS. #gouache #smallpaintings #landscapeart #gouacheart #canada #atlanticcoast #pleinair

Thanks Lisa, your photos are amazing

Thanks. Great to be here!

Thanks so much, I appreciate the feedback.

Thanks

More to come. Thanks

I’m new to BlueSky and wanted to introduce myself. I’m an artist living in Nova Scotia who loves to paint landscapes in an impressionistic style. I work mostly in acrylic and gouache. Below is a sampling of some of my recent works.

Demo from my Painting with Acrylic workshop now on at Cranston Gallery. Sometimes the simplest of subjects can be enough to create a dynamic piece of work. #workshop #acrylicpainting #landscape #art #impressionism

One of my favourite spots to paint en plein air - Green Bay, South Shore, Nova Scotia.

Back at Shoreline Beach this morning. Rather chilly, but just to be able to get out at this time of year is magic… or madness! #pleinair #gouache
