Long Time - No See!

So sorry I haven't written in awhile! I have been really busy preparing for the Artworks of Eau Gallie show, that happened this past weekend. What a great time we had! There are so many amazingly talented people in this area it just blows me away! I feel so privileged to be a part of the show. You can see more photos of the show and see the list of award winners at: http://www.brevardartnews.com

 

At left is a miniature painting I just created last week for part of my new miniature series. It is framed in gold and measures (with frame) 6 x 8 inches.

For those of you who are just coming back to Florida from the cold north, classes will resume in January. You can see a brief schedule on my website. http://watercolorworksart.com/Classes

I do have a workshop coming up:
Beginner’s Watercolor Workshop

This workshop is for those who are new to watercolor. We will set up our palettes together, discuss tools and materials, learn the basic washes and brush strokes, and practice together each step of the way.

Brevard Watercolor Society Workshop

Last weekend I did a workshop for the Brevard Watercolor Society, here in Melbourne, Florida. What a fun time we had! I demonstrated my technique of painting the shadows first, then glazing colors over the dry paint. Lots of people showed up for a fun day of painting!
We worked from 10 AM to 2 PM, and I shared as many tips and tricks as I could fit in. My next blog lesson will feature the project we worked on.

If you would like to paint along with the lesson, visit my etsy shop (http://watercolorgirl.etsy.com) and for $5.00 I will send you the six page project handouts, including the reference photo and drawing. You will receive these materials in pdf format via email.

Thanks to everyone who showed up for the workshop. I really had a great time and I enjoyed many of my new Florida neighbors.

Student Work: Beginner's Workshop

I just wanted to share the smiles. Jane and Lynn recently took my Beginner's Watercolor Workshop. Here they are with the paintings they did during the day. Great job ladies!
