Intro to Watercolor weekend was a blast!

This was our classroom at the end of the Spring Introduction to Watercolor Workshop at Kirkland Arts Center this weekend. What a lovely bunch of brand new watercolorists!

Winner! Congratulations to Melania for winning one of my original watercolor greeting cards fresh off the demonstration board this afternoon!

Winter Workshop Day Two

Looking over the Great Wall of Art and final projects on day two.

If every expert was once a beginner, then these beginners will  be experts in no time. Just look at all the work they did this weekend! What a great group!

Congratulations, Krista! You won the drawing!

The Great Wall of Art

Built by beginning watercolor students in just two days, the Great Wall of Art is up this afternoon at Kirkland Arts Center.

We had a great time painting watercolors together this weekend. Superb work, everyone!

And here's a view from a second floor window after lunch today!

Beginning Watercolor Workshop Today and Tomorrow

After an introduction to basic watercolor methods, my students brought leaves from outside into the studio and painted these! Aren't they great?

Everyone is off to lunch, but you can see that they have begun building the Great Wall of Art!

We are definitely making inroads on the first pad of watercolor paper! Return for updates tomorrow!
