Watercolour Workshops at Campbell River, Aug 5th, 2023


Exciting news! I'll be visiting the island next week and will be teaching two workshops at The Crow's Nest Gallery on August 5th, 2023.

Floral Hummingbird - 1 - 3 pm
Emerge into the magical world of nature and paint a unique Hummingbird in Elena Markelova’s signature double exposure style. Elena will be showing you how to combine a portrait of the Annas Hummingbird with bright flowers using basic watercolour techniques and some of Elena’s favourite tricks to add more life and movement to the painting. In this class you will learn the basic watercolour washes as well as some advanced techniques, and will leave with a beautiful painting and a new skill set that can be used for future art projects! All materials provided. You’ll keep a dot card set of professional watercolour paints after the class to create even more art at home!
