September Guest Speaker: Nicole Russell

Watercolour Journaling and Plein Air Painting

 

AGN member Nicole is a local artist whose passion is watercolour journaling (sketching with watercolours in a sketchbook) and plein air painting (painting outdoors). Watercolour journaling was one of the first art classes she signed up for when she started to look into painting with watercolours. This was back in 2009 and she has been hooked ever since. Watercolour journaling quickly became her passion and she travels everywhere with her little watercolour sketchbook and painting kit. Unlike watercolour journaling her plein air paintings are typically painted on an easel and her set ups are different for watercolours and oils. During her talk you will have the opportunity to see her plein air painting equipment as well as her journals. Also, Nicole will be showing a little painting demonstration in her sketchbook.
