She had her board and pallet prepared in purple, being the complimentary colour to the reds and oranges of autumn.

She decided to execute the picture using a pallet knife, very effective for the mountain range, beginning by placing the darks.

After the break she placed the lights and completed the foreground creating an impressionist painting.

She also demonstrated glazing areas to soften clouds etc to great effect.

Sonia is a gifted artist who generously shares her knowledge with others, 
taking thought process out of their comfort zone.

The next demonstration for CASA members is on July, 12 when they will welcome Peterborough artist Tony Nero.

Tony will paint a still life working in oil.
