Photos from recent workshop

These are photos from my most reccent workshop, held at the Bayou Lacombe Art Center.

We did 2 paintings in this workshop, the 1st one was a simple beach scene which allowed the students to warm up and learn the basic techniques for painting with watercolors. Then we moved on to the second painting, which had a little more detailed subject matter with a boat and a lighthouse.

This is the initial drawing with masking fluid applied. The students traced a copy, and followed step-by-step demonstrations to paint.

After the initial washes and background is painted, I peeled off the mask and began to paint the details

At the end of the day, here is the finished painting!
