Mel Williamson – The Quiet Power of Edges (Recording)

Attention to edges can elevate your portraits to a higher level. In this chat and live demo, Mel will explore the balance between soft and hard edges. Watch as she lets some transitions dissolve while sharpening others. Learn to trust your eyes and portray what they actually see (or don’t)!

Mel Williamson lives and paints on Salt Spring Island, BC, where she creates work in a variety of genres, including the human figure, landscape and still life. Her work has been described as “impressionistic, fresh and honest” and has a unique expressive quality, through bravura brushwork.

Known as a kind, generous and open teacher, Mel shares her knowledge and practices with others in an encouraging manner. She teaches online and in-person in Vancouver and Italy. She loves oil paint in all of its materiality and possibility, and believes there are no mistakes, only progress.

Mel is represented by three galleries in Canada: on Salt Spring Island and Sidney, BC and in Toronto, ON.
