Fall Color
As with the September 1 painting I posted, this one was done in the class I have rejoined-the one taught by the artist who introduced me to watercolor. I originally thought I was just going to the one class, but it was such a great experience being there that I decided to attend for a while again. I am having such fun being in his class; it’s on Monday morning and starts my week off so happily! Jim sketched this work, we copied his drawing and most followed his painting also. I went quite different with my colors, since it’s almost fall, and I wanted to reflect the beautiful shades of the trees this time of the year. This is a small painting, only 11″ x 7.5″. Painting so small can be its own challenge, but it also enables most of us in his class to complete a painting in one class. It’s just pure enjoyment to spend time with the other awesome artists and my friend/mentor!
