June 18 Veterans' Watercolor Class

Geraniums in the Afternoon

Session 1 Results, Watercolors for Veterans & Family, Mayville, NY

Today 4 painters joined me at the Mayville, NY VFW for an afternoon of watercolor instruction. First we discussed "resist", then we did a color chart of beautiful paints to see all our options for color, then proceeded to complete a sailboat painting.  Here are the 4 beautiful paintings produced at our first class.  Click on the image to see a large version.  I think everyone did an outstanding job!

Check out these super paintings in the style of Matisse, Bonnard, Derain.  My class unleashed some great talent and on the last day of class, they were so inspired they vowed to continue meeting thru the summer and continuing to keep their paint brushes busy!
