On the weekend I went to my first ever water colour class. I loved it. Here’s what I produced:

It’s supposed to be trees in a light mist along a lakeshore.

Same image, but on cheap paper.  The water colour wasn’t being asorbed at all.  But I prefer my trees in this one…

This was an exercise that involved a glossy photo paper.  The water colour tends to slide around and bleed on this paper.  We also used a modelling plaster to add further texture.  The original is then covered with another piece of paper and a mirror image is taken.   It’s definitely interesting…

I was having so much fun that I decided to stick around for the art class that was on next.  It was a lesson in perspective that included some charcol drawing and finished with an acrylic painting.  Here’s what I did:

I won’t be quitting my day job anytime soon, but I had fun and I’ll be going back for more.
