Dely Patterson (Artists) Years ago, Dely Patterson discovered her fondness of watercolours on a visit to the Kelowna Art Gallery, and instantly fell in love with the medium. She noticed the transparency and lightness of watercolours and how the paint spread in such interesting patterns over the paper.
Dely took her first course in watercolours with Olga Burr, who was very patient with the then-novice painter. Olga recognized Dely's frustration and continued to encourage and guide her student. Intrigued with the unexpected results of working with watercolours, Dely continued her education in the medium by taking subsequent workshops.
Since retiring as a health care worker four years ago, Dely has been able to afford the time to take her talent seriously. She's invested in various workshops facilitated by artists such as Jerry Thompson and Janice Robertson. Patterson considers herself an intermediate watercolour artist with so much more to learn.
"To me, the art of painting is much more than applying paint to paper. It is about feeling good... feeling good that I am being creative. I can create something for my own enjoyment, and hopefully for others too. My enjoyment of painting comes to the point that I paint for many hours until my eyes tell me it is enough. I have yet to find another medium that allows me to achieve the sparkle that these transparent colours have, when applied on white paper."
