It was fun painting with a group of people, got some.good tips. Andrea is encouraging and helpful with suggestions one-on-one. One suggestion is to give more instruction before we get started, what is she trying to teach us about landscape painting for example. I'm very new and need more clarity up front.

Title or Location: My studio
This young woman was waiting for a ceremony to begin that I was attending. She lives in West Africa and was wearing a string of random beads that my African friends prefer. Her expression was open but patient and knowing. I thought some of her grandmother's wisdom must have come to her, just like the necklace.

Title or Location: Mr Fox
For this 8x10 watercolor painting I used salt on wet paint in the background to give an impression of foliage, and a variety of strong brush strokes in green and blue in the foreground to give the impression of the Fox semi-hidden in grasses. My hope was to convey some of the impish beauty of this elusive woodland creature.
