Description
This is the sixth demonstration painting done for "Wind, Waves and Weather" on Thursday June 1st. Everyone arrived around 9 am and I set up to do another sketch based on the style of Tom Thomson. This was supposed to be "Paint like Tom Thomson" day using lots of paint, big brushes and bold strokes. Tom sketched on 8 x 10 1/2 boards so I selected 8 X 10 inch canvases and worked fast.
These boats are just a part of the Lake Huron fishing fleet that ties up in the mouth of the Saugeen River. Most of the time these boats did not move during our painting sessions. The odd time one would ship out in the morning and we would have to sketch in the shapes of the ship very quickly - to get the painting ship-shape so to speak. I have heard these described as "beaver-style" fishing boats that are capable of taking the waves of the inland seas. The boats of the fishing fleet were certainly built for functionality. One just needs to have a fillet of fresh fish to find that out.
The group liked the week of art very much. Two of the group want me to teach at their art schools and another lady brought two bottles of heart medicine. For my first attempt at teaching art I feel that it was a success... everyone had fun.
