This strokework design by
Maureen McNaughton is done as
a "mirror image”. 
The center focal point is an urn,
which anchors the picture
and the tones in this piece are very subtle. 
Maureen's framed piece measured  9” x 21” and my piece is
a drop leaf table, so the choice of   surface can  be
anything long and plaque-like.

The procedure for painting watercolour crystal is
the art of seeing! You might be seeing what is inside
the crystal or what is beyond it since it is totally
transparent.  Learn to look at the total image of
cut glass whether it is simple or ornate and
be able to determine what colours to use in the
execution of the painting. Reflections determine the
end result! You will use my design of the glass but
you have the creative licence to position the glass
and flower and use the lace of your choice to your composition.
Have fun with no panic!

Kelly Hoernig designed this Victorian style rose. 
This is a really good piece for those of you
who want  practice in floating. 
Very few brushes are used and it would be a wonderful
memory box project.
The cream colour of this rose could be changed to create
another shade of your favourite rose. 
Kelly painted her project on a coffee filter box (octagon shape)
but my project piece was painted on a square box (6” x 6”).

This is an original design of mine.  The subject matter is
a portion of my flower garden housing a large hosta  plant. 
You will ink the design at home and we will do
the painting in class. 
I chose a photo album  for  my surface so that I
can keep track of the different varieties of hostas 
that I have and other  gardening information.
This would make a good note card design.

Heather Reddick;  known for her
Zhostovo (Russian) style of  artwork. 
This is an excellent project to develop and
practise brush control.

you may choose any piece of your choice. 
While the design is circular, it  can be placed on
a square or rectangular piece.

This leaf study by Maureen McNaughton consists of
painting oak leaves, poplar leaves and maple leaves.
The oak and maple are painted in autumn shades while
the poplar is green.  Maureen’s piece was painted on a
placemat made by Coyote Woodworks. 
I used a plaque for my project piece: however,
each leaf design could be  painted on  separate surfaces
(e.g. Coasters, boxes, on matboard and put into a frame, etc, etc, etc.)

                                                       MEMORY BOX NIGHT

         Date: Monday August 30th 2010
         Teacher:  Debby Visser
         No charge for this class

        Come join us to paint memory boxes . Memory boxes will be                 supplied as well as paint.
        Please bring your usual paint supplies.  We really appreciate all             who support this program.

                                       MAUREEN  MCNAUGHTON  PACKETS.


  You will see from the class listings that you are required to purchase a  pattern packet for all of the Maureen  McNaughton classes. This comes as a result of serious copy right infringement by a large company  that was caught copying and selling her packets as originals.  On legal advice she has to stick to the letter of the law, and that is that each person painting a project must have their own packet.  We have appreciated the gifts we have had from Maureen in the past, with her permission , we were able to photocopy notes and line drawings. We say a big thank you, and will continue to support the rules of copyright.
