A Field Guide to Seaweeds of the Pacific Northwest
By Dr. Bridgette Clarkston Seaweed. It’s the mushy green stuff you’re loathe to swim through or step on at the beach. To Dr. Bridgette Clarkston, a seaweed biologist, science educator and author, though, seaweed is a maritime treasure. Clarkston grew up on the seashore in Comox, BC, where she says she was constantly dragging into the house the latest treasure the tide left on the beach. She has spent nine years teaching about seaweed and coastal biodiversity, including stints at Bamfield Marine Sciences Centre. Her field guide is pocket-sized and waterrepellent, making it ideal for a day at the beach. Inside, Clarkston describes more than 40 of the most important and interesting seaweeds commonly encountered on the West Coast, accompanied by colour photographs. A Field Guide to Seaweeds of the Pacific Northwest is an ideal source for casual phycological fun. Published by: Harbour Publishing Available at: Local bookstores List price: $7.95
“My View of Nature Close Up and Away” is an exquisite art exhibit running from Aug. 11 until Sept. 19, featuring watercolour artist Judi Pedder. Judi will showcase her collection of flower portraits and landscapes. Please join us in the gallery, Sat. Aug. 15 from 1-3 p.m. for Judi’s artist reception; talk about art while enjoying some refreshments.
Watercolours for beginners
Evening watercolour painting for beginners at Echo Centre is a class meant for adults who are interested in learning the basics of watercolour painting. We will begin with monochromatic (one colour) painting to focus on value and controlling our washes. We will move to two colour and then onto multicolour paintings proceeding in a stepby-step fashion so that each technique is understood before we move onto the next. We will paint a variety of subjects from still life to landscapes, culminating in an optional subject for the last class. Some interesting texture techniques will be presented along with traditional washes. The pace of this class will be relaxed so that each person can proceed at their own speed. A supply list will be available at Echo Centre. Instructor: Cynthia Bonesky. The classes will take place Tuesdays from Oct. 13 to Dec. 8 (no class Oct. 27) from 7–9
