This Artist is Back and Painting Watercolors!!

I'm challenging myself to improve my scenic watercolors.  It is so vast out there that it can be overwhelming.  I'm sure I'm not the first to be aware of that.  This past summer I've painted works up close, to get started, and further back as I get more confident.
               
                 "Rocks in Clear Creek"  Golden, CO.

I'm working with a different palette with more staining colors.

Than's Original Colored Pencil Artwork!

     After a lot of encouragement, Than completed a work of art from his own photograph.  It's wonderful!  On one youth outing with his church, Than took this photo.  He decided to do it in colored pencil.  We talked about composition, color temperature, values, texture and more.  What an accomplishment.  This allowed for further discovery on what subject to do next!  Well done, Than!

More Kids Watercolor Summer 2013

 

Annabelle (age 12) had moved to applying techniques learned to applying them to a larger painting (8x10").  In this piece, she brushed on washes and glazes, dry brushed, applied warm and cool pine trees and provided cast shadows for the snow drifts and aspen.  Quite an accomplishment, Annabelle!
 

Kids Watercolor Summer 2013

  Claire (age 13) learned several watercolor techniques.  She applied those techniques to a collage of her own and created a Cupcake Original!!
We had fun!  A job well done, Claire!
