This is what Margot strives to communicate in her classes and in her own work. Margot encourages her students to develop their own potentials rather than strive to paint like their idols. She feels it is better to spend one's time painting what is important to the individuals, accepting and discarding techniques and methods as
appropriate or inappropriate to the expression of one's individual concepts.

Margot has been teaching painting classes at senior centers, community centers, adult summer camps, hospice and various art groups such as the Button Factory in Waterloo and the Guelph Community Arts Group for over 15 years. She is a qualified teacher with a Bachelor Degree in Fine Arts. She believes in creating a positive, stress free environment for her students, and offers constructive criticism to help them achieve their full potential. Her workshops are popular and well attended.

Painting on Canvas with Watercolours!!!

Next class Tuesday Aug. 18, 2009,  9am to 2pm

For some time now I have been interested in expanding my watercolour painting surfaces. I find it very frustrating at times having to lug heavy glass covered paintings to shows and exhibitions only to find later that some were scratched or even broken. I discovered a new way to enjoy watercolour painting that allows you to frame your paintings like oil painters do - with a frame only (NO GLASS) or better yet with no frame at all. I learned the technique and would like to pass on my knowledge to you. Cost of $80. includes various mediums. Please bring your own watercolour supplies (Supply list will be provided upon registration), one foot by two foot gallery stretched canvas, pictures for reference material and a bagged lunch.
