TWO FOR TUESDAY

Today's Watercolor Class at Daniel Smith with Jenna Howell featured two small paintings.

While Jenna was first giving us instructions and direction, I was rudely sketching my classmates.  So much fun!

I had to quickly catch up.

We all gather around Jenna as she shows how to approach the painting.

FRIDAY ACRYLIC

I've started up another 5 week acrylics class at Daniel Smith.

This week was about "Impressionism" and broken color.

SIMPLIFY

Today's lesson at my watercolor class at Daniel Smith with Jenna Howell was about simplifying a scene and only painting what's important.

This was great fun.

Here's the photo we were working from

My finished painting.

NEW SKETCH BOOK BEGINS

I got a new sketchbook (because I mailed the other one back to Art Co-op House).  And I indulged in a new setup for my watercolors.  A really cool box from Daniel Smith.  Love it!  It comes with empty pans and you put your own colors in it.

NEW SERIES

Well, maybe a continuation of the Freeway Series in a more focused way.

I've agreed to hang some of my work and a friend's annual Art Show and Sale at her home in April. So....I think I need a group of small canvases that I can price at an affordable level.

I stopped at Daniel Smith's here in Seattle on my way home the other day and picked up seven 8x10" and three 9x12" canvases (on sale!).

One a day, just one a day...that's all I need to do!

Here's yesterday's: Spokane #1 - 8"x10" acrylic on canvas.



And here is today's: Spokane #2 - 8"x10" acrylic on canvas.
