 a roller, a palette knife

and a brush

These paintings were all done by using a roller to apply

watercolor on watercolor paper.  After the watercolor

dried I mixed a bit of white gouache with color and applied

it with a pallet knife for the horizontal streaks in the water.

Then with a brush I painted the lily pads and the blossoms

 using gouache with the pinks, reds and bright greens.

A Fun Process.

Today was the first day of a three day workshop at

the Fort Worth Woman's Club.  Our instructor is

Tina Bohlman, a well know watercolorist from

Waxahachie, Texas.  Tina is an accomplished oil painter

as well.  Kathline McKinney, the workshop chairman had

several still life settings around the room.  The one I chose had

a ginger jar that had been her mother's.

We drew thumbnail sketches for value studies then painted

our still life paintings.  Great time.  Looking forward to more painting

with Tina. Vist again soon to see more paintings from the workshop.

Wednesday Watercolor Classes

Simply Watercolor!

Wednesday Watercolor Classes

The Upstairs Art Gallery  Arlington, Texas

We painted wet into wet washes for the background around

the white geese,  simple wet washes into the bodies leaving

the white of the paper for the highlights and finishing with

the beak, eyes and webbed feet, a few grass strokes and that was it.

Our project for the day was bright, colorful and loose.

Inspired by an artist on Pinterest.

Everyone did a fantastic job.  I hope to have pictures of

student work next week to post.
