Watercolour sketches painted
outside of class
This page is about the paintings I've been doing. I just moved and have not been painting for several months. No more lessons for me now. I'm a bit rusty after a few months but I'll get back into the swing.
Last year I was taking lessons and here are a few experiments done in 2013 outside of class.
Lake Erie Landscape
Went for a walk and took a photo of Lake Erie at the bottom of my street. In each of the sketches I try to emphasize different aspects of the image. I liked my colours.
Sketching in the Yard
I have not painted flowers for a while. I went out in the afternoon and sketched in the back yard. Painted the little asters.
I will do them again and see what happens.
Jack in the Pulpit
Jack in the pulpit is quite a complex shape. I was delighted to find a whole lot of them in the back yard woods.
I think I will paint it again with no background noise. My first sketch on the right

I've now moved and starting to settle in. I have not painted or sketched for several months.
I'm a bit rusty and I will miss my painting lessons.
This page is my continuing efforts with watercolours.
I would really like to learn how to paint water. The trouble is that water is never the same. You can learn to paint still water and you will not have a clue how to do stormy water. It's really an exercise in seeing. It's nice not being under pressure.
