Speed Landscape Drawing and Painting

Saturday 23 November
City Park West - 10am - 2 Hours
Meg Kettelkamp
The focus of this two-hour structured session is "speed" and "form", i.e. capturing the essence of a subject. You will be guided to complete some "warm-up" colour and drawing exercises and prepared for doing ink and watercolour-based painting in the session. You will learn how to quickly sketch and capture multiple subjects in the garden with ink and wash technique. You will be advised to keep things rather loose and time your drawing/painting. You will have a chance to meet and greet like-minded people, choose your own subjects in the garden and be guided to complete the exercises, and artwork and have some takeaway homework with the learned technique. All levels and experiences are welcome.

Title or Location: Fantasy get Away Located in Orange Virginia
The owner told me that she wanted something fun, relaxing, and beautiful to adorn her shed. She pointed out the she especially hated the electric meter. About 1/2 way across painting on the shed, she came out with ice tea and asked if I could also include the Blue Ridge Mountains. So, I made the building end (made a corner) and then added some blue ridge mountains off in the background. Finished product has feelings of Greece with Blue Ridge mountains, making it a true fantasy piece!

Painted during various live music events, in an attempt to take my viewers places thru the portal, when a viewer passed by saying how he loved the yellow brick road, which inadvertently named the piece! And therefore i had to add Emerald City from the Wizard of Oz as one of 3 destinations among a futuristic Neon City and the Pyramids of Giza! Hope you enjoy!

Winter Evening is a 16x20" Acrylic on Canvas that is part of my Umbrella Series. After working with people who struggled with mental health, I was able to better understand my own. The Umbrella Series often depicts a woman walking into an unknown but hopeful place. The umbrella represents feelings that come with severe depression the want to isolate and hide but by doing so the umbrella pushes away others who can be supportive. The darkness represents the feeling of hopelessness contrasting w

Title or Location: Lion
It had been about seven years since I had drawn much of anything since I graduated high school. I did draw a lot when I was in school. Fast forward to "91". I did security guard work, part time at night and it was very boring and hard to stay awake. So, I figured doing some drawings, again, would reignite my passion for drawing and keep me awake at work at the same time. I brought a big poster to work to copy. I never really drew animals much at all and thought it would be a nice challe

Title or Location: LAST COFFEE IN MY AUTUMN GARDEN
I live in Edmond. My house is small and so is my backyard. My favorite spot is the patio where I enjoy my first cup of coffee in the morning.I love cats, had quite a few over the years, and presently have two. My backyard and the various critters that visit are my constant source of inspiration. The painting truly depicts the last cup of coffee in the garden. Cold weather set in but in Spring I was out there again.Most of my paintings feature a cat and some part of my backyard.

Title or Location: Maiden, Mother, Crone
This series is a deeply personal representation of myself as a geeky, black, queer, Wiccan woman and is a celebration of women throughout the seasons of our lives. The maiden represents beginnings and youth.The mother represents the fullness of life and maturity, and the crone represents wisdom and the end of the cycle of life. I wanted to capture each iteration throughout the seasons of the year, sprinkled with a bit of magic and fantasy. Each painting is 18" x 24" oil on canvas.
