Paintings are done in the watercolour painting technique. Watercolour is a technique where dry pigment is mixed with a binder (usually gum arabic), then with water and applied with a brush. When the water dries, it is the binder that sticks the pigment to the paper. For this piece, the piece was first painted in watercolour and printed on vinyl.
Artist Courtney Carstens is particularly drawn to nature and botanicals. Her paintings beautifully capture the details and colours of the natural world, and she frequently experiments with new techniques that push the boundaries of her craft. In addition to her artistic pursuits, Courtney is also a certified permaculture teacher, having studied the principles of sustainable living and organic gardening.
This mural displays different aspects of Humber Lakeshore Campus. On the right of the mural, an apple tree is seen to recognize the apple orchard on the campus. Beside the door, the building seen is G Building. Next to G, the Toronto cityscape is visible with various buildings, including the CN Tower, with the lakeshore in front featuring a sailboat. At the very left edge, the partial trunk and leaves of an old Oak tree is visible. This image represents the changing landscape of the campus and the view one would see from the campus
