Sketching in Margaret's Courtyard

"SKETCHING IN A COURTYARD"

Several of our Monday Afternoon Class

from the Fort Worth Woman's Club

enjoyed a lovely outing to the country

Saturday. We sat in Margaret's courtyard, visited and

sketched. There were many interesting things to

study and draw.

This is the original well on the property

A lovely corner in the courtyard

Water works

 DiAnne's Sketches

The next four sketches are Ruth's sketches

We had a great lunch, Margaret made quiche, Betty made

salad, watermelon from Mary and Warner, DiAnne brought cookies from
the Bluebonnet Bakery and

I brought cupcakes.  All was delicious!!

Come back soon and see more about our outing in the country!

Watercolor Painting done in Morning Class

Watercolor Painting done in Afternoon Class

2nd Painting in Afternoon Class

The paintings were started with a wet into wet

multi colored wash on background.

The dark clouds, palm trees and land

silhouettes were added when the background

was completely dry.

The morning painting was more pastel.

I used stronger colors in the afternoon.

Come back and visit again soon.

Watercolor Classes

Wednesday, May 31, 2017

Our class project was a figure

sitting on the beach.

Everyone did an excellent job.

The Morning Class did a super job on the

figure project. 

The Afternoon Class did a great job, too!

Come back and visit again soon to

see what the classes are painting.

I was invited to paint in one of the seven

gardens on the Fort Worth Historic Society's

Hidden Gardens Tour of Fort Worth.

This year the gardens were in homes in the

Berkeley Place area off of Forest Park Blvd.

I enjoyed the afternoon painting several watercolor 

paintings and chatting with visitors as they toured

the garden at a home on Ward Parkway.

The garden where I painted was full of cactus in bloom,

succulents,Texas grasses, a rose of Sharon in full bloom,

rose bushes,  lots of interesting yard art and a

fire pit and seating area in the lower part of the garden.

The weather turned out beautiful after some rain in the

early part of the day.

"Magnolia"

by

Margie Whittington

So proud of members in my watercolor classes at the Upstairs Gallery.  They all did a great job on their Magnolia Paintings this week.  Even though we paint the same image all the paintings turn
out different in color and style.  Will get a photo of morning members class for next blog.

                                  Come back and visit soon!
