The last of the summer adult workshops was last week and it was an introduction to watercolor.
I purchased some sunflowers for reference and then went over some of the different techniques one can use when working with watercolor.
Of all the mediums, I think watercolor can be the most difficult transition as you really do have to be able to give up some control for best results. And I understand that everyone wants a great finished product in the end, but sometimes the success is in discovering the process.
Although I am quite impressed with the artwork created, I know some of the women were not fans. My hope is that they will give it a try again.
I was thrilled when I received an email the next day that one of the women went out and did purchase some supplies to paint more watercolor work! So that is success in my book.
I think they all did a great job and it was fun working with them in the evening. I was sorry to see the two hours come to a close so quickly.
The first project completed was the sunflowers.
And then at the end of the night, they worked on creating some very colorful chickens.
Aren't they lovely?
