Class finished

We had our last class Tuesday. I'm still not sure about the watercolor canvas but I do see where it could work better then paper. I have several sheets left so I will keep playing with it until I figure out if I do like it. But for now it's back to portrait practice. Here's all the watercolor canvas's I did in class and out. Still trying to figure out the camera issue, got a new to me one yesterday.

Class project


Started in class, I'm not a flower painter






Three I did at home, the first two are loose sheets, the third is mounted on board








And finally one on stretched watercolor canvas

One from class and the final version of seascape (maybe)

We did a wet in wet background and then picked the flowers out. Marcia did a blue background with white flowers, very effective. I did green, blue background with spink flowers, not as effective. Anyhow worked it over, here's the results, might do more in class.


Tweaked the seascape some more. I' might consider this one done before I make it worse. Darkened the waves behind the cliff, lightened the horizon and played with the water in the foreground.
