About the Artist
Marianne was born in England but spent much of her childhood in Malaysia.

As a teenager, her artwork was selling in local galleries and department stores. Marianne settled in Canada in 1980 and lives in Schomberg, Ontario. As a full-time artist and a sought after art instructor Marianne is never without her sketchbook or camera, always looking for new subject matter for her stunning closeup paintings of flowers, ethereal landscapes and abstract images. Marianne also enjoys taking on commissions of subject matter that she may not otherwise paint. Some of these have been commissioned for publishing purposes and her work has been licensed for Giclée reproductions, needlepoint designs, greeting cards and fine porcelain. Marianne’s art education in England has been furthered by studies at The Haliburton School of the Arts and courses and workshops with many respected artists. Marianne’s work has been exhibited in many juried exhibitions in which she has received numerous awards. The most recent are three Best in Show awards, Best Watercolour in Show, The Franklin Carmichael Award, The Marianne Crone Award, 2nd prize in the COAA Juried Show, Juror’s Choice, Honourable Mentions and several People’s Choice awards.

**ONLINE WORKSHOP** Tulip Garden
3 HOURS ONLINE WITH ZOOM APP: THURSDAY Workshop
Join Sam Paonessa's Spring workshop painting a tulip garden. Springtime Complements - Strong light makes these tulips explode with rich vibrant red and pink colours. Bright warm greens surround the complementary red flowers which helps enhance the focal area. This exercise will be an enjoyable challenge working with a garden variety of red, green warm and cool combinations. You will also be able to work at the interplay of light and shadow both seen in the background and foreground. Remember to look for big shapes first and not to get caught up with all those little details too early. Under Paint Suggestion: Keep bright areas like the bright tulips light and use a pale transparent yellow green for lower half of painting. Use a cool colour for shadowed area at top.
