I took my first watercolor workshop from Ken Hosmer last year in Kerrville. He's a wonderful teacher--gifted in TEACHING--not just a wonderful artist, but he's able to convey the idea to the student and he knows so much! He took his first wc workshop in 1969--so, while I was busy having babies, he was painting. :) He was the first to introduce backward painting--watercolor painting from dark to lights, instead of layering color. He begins with a unique way to do the value studies with ink sketches, so that's what we did yesterday. I'm determined to do a floral, since they intimidate me so much. That's what I worked on today, but I got so involved that I didn't even think about taking a photo until I got home. I did the two florals yesterday in class and the figure sketch this morning about 6. That's my favorite time to do anything that takes brain work! :) If you are interested in doing wc, he's a wonderful teacher, and I recommend him highly. And it seems the others in the class are enjoying him as well.Tuesday, March 20, 2007

Watercolor is high on my list of classes to take. Sounds wonderful. I love knowing an artist :-). I can come here and see all sorts of things outside of my normal day!
p.s. I replied back on my blog...no need to be sad about the weeds...I'll let you read my answer!
But, I am so happy to know another person that would actually feel sad about a weed. Because, I would too :).
