Art Class - Mixing Landscape Greens

Morag from Waikanae

I have 2 places left in this workshop on Sat. 25th May, from 10am - 12.30pm, cost $95 with all materials provided. It's all about colour mixing and will be of particular interest to landscape painters and those who like to represent the greens of nature in their work. We will focus on creating palettes which work well for foreground, mid distance and distant greens. Green can be a difficult colour to get right in landscape work as is doesn’t ‘travel’ well from near to far. Some very far greens are scarcely green at all, with their saturation, value and hue changing as they recede into the distance. You will learn how to create greens that give this sense of aerial perspective. You will also learn how to create the brightest and cleanest colour mixes, greens in particular, from a Modern (Organic) colour palette.

Mid February: very warm, very dry, & very sunny

Murray from Paraparaumu

I’m sure that comes as no surprise to anyone with only the slightest interest in the weather, but will it continue, I wonder?

February has been similar to January which was also dry and sunny, but was slightly cooler than average. However, February with a daily average temperature of just under 25ºC is running a degree warmer than the forecasts, and the second warmest in 15 years, with only 2016 being slightly warmer.

With no rain at all it’s as dry as 2019 and there has been 11 sunny days with only one with no sun at all.

For some, summer is over at the end of the month (two weeks away), but March with an average temperature of around 22.5 ºC it's still summer in Kapiti.
