Watercolour Painting Demonstration – Painting An Iris

By Rex Beanland

I was born in England, raised in Canada and now live in Calgary, Alberta.  I paint full time and am very active in various art groups in Calgary and British Columbia.  My work is know for a bold use of colour and value.  I work in watercolour and acrylic and I am very inspired by the land, the people and the moods of Western Canada.  I was a public school teacher for 20 years and this has helped me to earn a growing reputation for teaching drawing and painting.

I am really pleased to announce that I have just created a brand new web site. In addition to featuring my art, it also includes my almost daily blog of the up to the minute twists and turns of my art journey.  It also includes another blog featuring the work of my students.  If you get a minute check out the student blog and scroll down to the drawing class images.  It’s unusual to see people improve so much so quickly.  Visit my site http://rexbeanland.com

Along with his wife, Susan, I also run a videography business so creating art instruction videos is a natural integration of art and video.  I love being on both sides of the camera.

Watercolor Painting Demonstration by Joe Cartwright

About

I have been painting with watercolor since 1998.

My paintings cover a wide range of subjects including portraits ,seascapes, landscape, flowers, wildlife and townscapes. I do not feel inclined to specialise in any one category as any subject can make an interesting work of art.

I have been exhibiting at regional and National art shows over this period at which I have sold many paintings and received many of awards. In 2009 I won the prestigious John Copes Watercolour Prize.

I have also also exhibited and sold paintings at other major exhibitions such as the Sydney Royal Agricultural Easter Show and the Blacktown Art Show.

The Australian Artist Magazine has published my articles on two occasions.

Translating weather is also evident in her work. “Weather makes a landscape painting come to life. How I love to show leaves blowing in the Autumn time, snow falling in winter, or a beautiful thunderstorm approaching in my summer paintings.”

Christine finds God’s handwork in all aspects of nature and tries to translate her awe and reverence in her artwork. Never disappointed, she relies on His creation for inspiration.
