President’s Message
Louise Mantha
Picture this: at a dinner party years ago, I was
served a plate of roast pork and applesauce, with
mashed potatoes, mashed parsnips, and white bread.
It was all served on a white plate. For a colourist
such as myself, the experience proved excruciating.
Although the food was delicious, imagine the same ingredients on a
yellow plate or a red or a blue one! You get the same feast for the stomach but now it is a feast for the eyes, as well!
Which brings to mind one of the valuable lessons I retain from my
Certificate in Fine Arts: the importance of underpainting! In art, an underpainting is an initial layer of paint applied to a canvas or sheet of
paper, which serves as a base for subsequent layers of paint. Often
monochromatic, underpaintings help define colour values for later
painting.

Meeting Reports
Using An Underpainting Serves Four Basic Functions:
1. It creates texture on which to build up paint on the canvas. Laying
down paint as part of the ground texture will add ‘tooth’ for the
paint to grip on to and give the canvas a little more body.
2. It puts a colour underneath your painting, allowing that to impact
your final work in some way. It’s a lovely thing to leave flashes of
the underpainting colour showing through. You can experiment
with this and have a lot of fun. Try using a colour that’s quite unexpected. For example, if your image has a lot of green, do your underpainting in a luscious, vibrant and complimentary red. Or, a
lovely hot pink is a fantastic colour to paint over. Little flashes of
hot pink through your painting can give it a lift it might not have
had. Underpainting lends itself to throwing chunks of colour onto
your canvas, and allowing the “pure” ground colour to show
through. At an art show in Merrickville a few years back, I saw this
hot pink technique used by a wonderful Quebec artist. I was immediately drawn to the warmth of his work and didn’t understand why
until he explained his amazing ‘bubble gum pink’ technique.

Our Annual Christmas Dinner
was held on this day. About 40
odd members and some of their
spouses enjoyed a good meal and
comradery. After the meal a lot of
fun was had by the participants.

3. Using a coloured ground on your canvas enables you to rough in
your painting in chalk to see whether all the elements balance compositionally, and whether they “fit”. Cheap, easy to wipe off, and
visible. Lots of time saved.

President’s Message continued ….
Let the games begin On your mark get set GO!!!
I even use coloured paper (or paper primed
with a vibrant acrylic paint) as the underpainting
for works in pastel or charcoal because I don’t
have to “fight’ with the white of the paper and can
more easily fill in my painting.
One of Canada’s finest
painters, Tom Thomson, prepared his painting surface
with colours like warm grey
or burnt sienna as an underpainting - colours which show
through and around his vivid
brushstrokes. This was crucial
to the effect of the little gems
he produced in the wild on canvas board or wooden panels. In 1917, Thomson painted what is
probably the most famous of all Canadian images,
a pine tree, standing battered but strong against the
elements. For many, the painting is the quintessential image of the Canadian spirit. The picture vibrates with colour. Usually, lakes and sky are blue,
but his picture is pink, violet, and green. And to
make the colours even more vibrant through complimentary contrast, he allowed spots of the red
under-painting to show through.
I challenge each RLAA member to try using
underpainting on your next work. Some of you
already do so, as evidenced at our art rodeos last
year. But, if you haven’t tried it yet, do so and see
how your art will sing! Paintings that would have
been merely ‘okay’ will suddenly become magnificent! After all, colour is what it is all about….

Doug Mays, CSPWC
All About Design - Don’t Be Afraid of the Darks
Doug's painting approach is uniquely
‘loose and impressionistic’ and he
readily admits being
influenced early on
by the colour and
compositions
of
John Singer Sargent, and the design philosophy of Edgar Whitney.
Today he follows a Whitney-like instructional style
for his workshops with proven results. His daily
demonstrations, lessons and critiques utilize the
Design Elements and the Principles of Design, all
of which form the basis for his workshops.
Doug is an elected member of the prestigious
Canadian Society of Painters in Water Colour
(CSPWC) and he is Past-President of the Central
Ontario Art Association (COAA). His enthusiasm

Brian Smith, AOCA
Portraits with the Zorn Palette
Brian Smith graduated from
the Ontario College of Art
and Design in Toronto, Canada. For over 40 years he has
been both a professional award-winning graphic
designer and a practicing fine artist focusing on
classical drawing and painting from the figure.
“I have been drawing and painting the human form for
close to fifty years now and I continue to derive an enormous amount of pleasure from it. The thrill of the human
form and the challenge of recording and interpreting that
form and its gestures and surfaces keeps bringing me back
daily. I am an artist because the human form inspires.”

Some Experience Required as work in a very
minimal palette that Anders Zorn used for his
wonderful portraits will be the main focus of this

the decisions around colour, intensity and value

Just For Today continued ….
Just for today I’ll strengthen my mind. When
I’m puzzled or have a problem I’ll consult trusted reference. Thought and concentration will be
with me, if only just for today.
And looking at the big picture, “God grant
me the serenity to accept the things I cannot
change and the courage to change the things I
can. And the wisdom to know the difference.” (Reinhold Niebuhr)
Just for today I’ll do something I don’t know
how to do – for the fun of it; for the exercise. If
and when I fail, no one may notice, and I’ll not
say anything.
Just for today I’ll not find fault with anything or anyone, and I’ll not try to improve or
regulate anyone but myself.

“Bermuda House” watercolour, 1922by Owen Merton
Just for today I’ll have a plan. I may not follow it exactly, but I’ll have it. While I’m at it,
I’ll save myself from two pests; hurry and indecision.
PS: “Hurry ruins saints as well as artists. They
want quick success and they are in such haste to
get it that they cannot take time to be true to
themselves. And when the madness is upon them
they argue that their very haste is a species of
integrity.” (Thomas Merton)

Just for today I’ll put beauty, elegance,
charm and character into my work. What I give
to the world is also what the world gives to me. I
need those things.
Just for today I’ll not think about what anybody else is doing. I’ll be sufficient unto myself,
for while I may not be great, I am certainly great
enough for today.
Just for today I’ll take some real time for a
quiet time – a half-hour or so by myself where I
can sit back and get a better idea of the big picture.
Art fakery in NYC
In 2011 New York’s oldest art gallery,
Knoedler, closed suddenly after being accused
of selling forged paintings by Mark Rothko,
Willem de Kooning and Jackson Pollock. The
tale has gripped the art world ever since.
Knoedler had acquired dozens of paintings,

supposedly from a reclusive collector known
only as Mr. X (and his son, Mr. X Jr) and sold
them for over $60m. One middleman has pleaded guilty; the other two have been arrested in
Spain. Police believe the forger was Pei-Shen
Qian, once of Queens, now thought to be in China. Several lawsuits against Knoedler and its
director, Ann Freedman, have been settled, but
not one brought by Domenico de Sole, chairman
of Sotheby’s. Mr. de Sole gave evidence, having
placed his forged Rothko on an easel in court.
He fumed: “I got a fake painting for $8.3m and I
want my money back!” He may have to wait a
while.
At the $100 & Under Show (November 21st
and 22nd) participants of the show were encouraged to bring in snacks not only for those on duty at the show but also for the public. Anyway,
Hanna Olszewski brought in some wonderful
crackers which she had made. Since then there
has been a request for the recipe from one of our
members. Unfortunately, Hanna can not remember who it was that had made the request so for
that person and anyone else who would like to
try making these crackers here is the recipe.

Steam in the room: the price of love Orazio
Gentileschi’s blush-inducing scene of seduction,
“Danaë”, the finest Italian Baroque painting to
come up for auction in a generation, goes under
the hammer at Sotheby’s in New York on
Thursday January 23, 2016, having spent most
of the past 40 years in the home of Richard
Feigen, a noted New York art dealer. Commissioned by a Genoese nobleman in 1621, it shows
Cupid drawing back a dark green curtain to allow Jupiter to enter the room in the guise of a
shower of gold. Danaë lies amid a tangle of bedlinen awaiting her fate, a scene depicted by Titian, Rembrandt and Gustav Klimt among others. Sotheby’s has put an estimate of $25m to
35m on the picture. It carries a guarantee, probably around the low estimate, and an irrevocable
bid. Whoever buys it will have to dig deep to
gazump that offer. Cheap, though, for an important piece of art history—and serious wall
candy.

Tips
Upcoming Trip
 Don’t be afraid of failure or make mistakes.
A trip is being planned by Dawn Fortin, Caroline Evans, and Sharon Benson to go to the National Gallery this coming June 10th. This will be
raised at our March meeting as they will need to
have some idea of how many people plan to go
so that they can make arrangements with the National Gallery and also to arrange for transportation. For more information you can contact
Dawn at dawnfortin01@gmail.com or 613-2538907
 Everyone gets to an awkward stage, but per-
Did You Know
severe and you will get through it.
 Just do it!
A suggestion has come from one of our
members that perhaps the membership of the
RLAA could paint on garage doors and then
submit them to our shows such as Art in the
