July 10th, 2008 ~ Accomplishment
/ Watercolor Workshop

Robert H. Schuller
said; "Today's accomplishments were yesterday's impossibilities."
Instead of the new Sunflower painting I was going to post today,
I thought I'd show you a photo of two of today's workshop participants.
Neither Lee or Joyce had worked in wet-in-wet watercolor before
and Joyce had never even drawn, let alone paint, prior to today!
What do you think about their work? Hard to tell theirs from
mine, isn't it?! I'm impressed. They left here very happy campers!

Quotes On
Accomplishment:
"Look
at a day when you are supremely satisfied at the end. It's not
a day
when you lounge around doing nothing; it's when you've had everything
to do, and you've done it." ~ Margaret Thatcher
"The
supreme accomplishment is to blur the line between work and play."
~Arnold J. Toynbee

My next Watercolor
Workshop, Sept. 12th - 14th is filled! I'm planning another,
limited to four students on September 20th - 21st. I handed out
questionnaires at the end of the last session. If you could see
me right now, you might possibly notice an increase in the size
of my head!

What
did you learn here?

some basics. I learned I shouldn't be afraid to try again."
~ Joyce K.

about primary and secondary colors and the principle
of shading and mixing using same. The most important things are
the use
of the brush, water, dry brush, workable wet, blending, etc."
