| Some of the girls getting ready for class to start |
Last week my first watercolor class was rained out before we could actually start painting. I thought I'd get a chance to play with the paints this last weekend, but never really had the time. SO
if you thought I was holding out on you- I'm not. I promised I share and here you go. :)

Here is my absolutely first ever real watercolor painting. Have to say that although I enjoyed the majority of the experience after a while the whole
not knowing what I was doing thing started to get to me. I know I've
talked about this before but it is hard to be a beginner again. And although some of the principles I know from other mediums did transfer (like composition) the
working light to dark thing really through me for a loop. I wish I'd thought to take a photo of the actual scene that I painted. It was a lot lighter and brighter than this.
Really a beautiful day to be out.The class meets just outside the Lake Harriet Rose Garden so I walked through the roses to get to class. It was so pretty so I took a couple of photos to share.

ReplyDeleteI think you did a great job! Watercolors can be intimidating. Can't wait to see more.

ReplyDeletegood job...
This is lovely! I've only had a painting class inside a small room, it must have been divine painting outside there surrounded by lovely gardens. Swoon!
ReplyDeleteHow fun! I loved reading this post and your other post about being a beginner. A bit nerve-wracking and exciting at the same time. I look forward to seeing your future watercolors =)
