Watercolor Class 2: The Pear

Last Tues in class i learned how to effectively mix paint and different ways to make/mix black and grey! Our still life was a Pear, on a mirror with a black background:




and i'm enjoying my learning in this class. Brian Stelfreeze, here i come???


and i'm currently working in my watercolor sketchbook and did an Angie sketch from this weeks Entertainment weekly:

Watercolor class

I suck at color and i'd be the first to admit it =)

But i love the look of watercolors and i've tried the watercolor pencils with ok success but i wanted to paint, after years and years of hating paint

(sidenote: I used to hate pen until i took a drawing in pen class by David B. Sullivan)

so many of my christmas gifts consisted of paints, paper and how to books

but i needed to set aside tome to be consistant - I've decided to take a watercolor class taught by the awesome Andrew Kish ~!!

here's some stuff from my first class =)

learning about washes, wet on wet, wet on dry, brushes, colors, mixing and tools of the trade
excited for this weeks class~!!

I'm no Brian Stelfreeze but that's my goal~!!
