If this is Tuesday, it must be Watercolor

High school senior learning watercolor painting

My other watercolor adult student

Dana's finished painting of a toucan...good job

Signing her ladybug painting..another good job

Finished product


On Tuesdays, I am teaching watercolor to a couple of students;
one is a high school senior that I am mentoring for her
Senior Project class, and the other is a young wife
and mother who has always wanted to take some
art classes.  The two of them are learning all about painting
with watercolor.  Today, they did different projects...a colorful
toucan and a ladybug.  They painted the subject using washes on dry
paper.  Then they wet the background, and added the colors that
blurred together.  They said they really enjoyed this lesson, and they
were happy with the results!  woohoo!
