During todays stint in the Gallery a lady called in and asked for me by name.  She then asked me to look at her artwork and tell her what I thought.  GULP!!!

Ok, so I looked, pointed out the good bits, made some suggestions on how to improve and we decided to photograph what we agreed was her best work so the gallery manager can decide on potential to exhibit. 

I think I was positive and helpful, but would have done things a bit differently if I'd been more prepared.

This weeks watercolour class subject was people.  I've never drawn or painted a person before so it was a challenge.  I got the torso wrong - too long.  I also had fun in making the details up as the picture I was working from was a black shape against the light sky with no details of the person visible.  Point of going to class is to learn and I'd say I'm learning.

This week I've re-commenced at creative watercolour classes.  We've started by working on a harbour scene with multiple perspectives, reflections and huge contrasts in sunlight / shadows.  We were given a black white copy of a painting to work from and have to put in all the colours ourselves.  It looked fairly simple until I started painting - should have realised that we weren't going to be given something simple to do - the point of going to class is to learn..........................watch...
