New DVD
"Preparing & Painting on Masa Paper"
by Judi Pedder
Instructional Experience
Using my studio I have taught many weekly classes and some one-day workshops. In the community I have taught both one-day and five-day workshops.
My policy is to help individuals, in a class setting, with their choice of subject matter. Many short demonstrations are included in the program, which is based upon the needs of students and the group. This policy results in good progress and skills that transfer to many other pieces of work.

Saturday, April 7, 2012 "Texture in Watercolours on Masa Paper with Judi Pedder"
Comox Valley Art Gallery
For more information and registration please visit or call the gallery at 250-338-6211; see Comox Valley Art Gallery under the "education" heading.
My goals are to teach observation and painting skills that will transfer to any image. I do not set subjects unless requested - everyone paints something different according to their choice. I firmly believe in sharing knowledge of how different artists work and what works for me and in pointing out some of the most obvious pitfalls to avoid.
In her classes Judi teaches individuals in a class setting. We start by looking at samples of your work; this important step shows her where to offer help. She encourages each student with where she sees you need her help with your current image. We have group critiques with everyone taking part - this teaches observation skills. During a session Judi may cover:
- Suggestions on creating distance in landscapes,
- Backgrounds for flowers,
- Texture in rocks,
- Painting trees,
- Skies,
- Reflections,
- Using more colour
- Painting from photographs: what to leave in, what to eliminate,
- Changing the time of day or year,
- Composition
