Great first class!

# data[].attributes.body
So looking forward to this class!

# data[].attributes.body
Don't have my Viridian or Yellow Ochre yet to complete - but soon. Learned a bit about amount of water needed and staying between the lines!

# data[].attributes.body
Such a great learning experience! I got a few squares mixed up that I had to go back and fix. And figuring out the correct mix and water ratio was a challenge, but very worthwhile.

# data[].attributes.body
I decided to do the poppies for this. This project was a lot of fun, I can see doing another one. I did a bit of splatter with my #2 brush at the end to give it more interest, probably could have used the #6 but I didn’t want to overdo it.

# data[].attributes.body
I decided to do another wreath after Lisa posted the directions. This one is looser with more water, not on the leaves so much. Still working out how much water to use versus paint.

# data[].attributes.body
This was certainly a learning experience! I'm pretty pleased at being able to "let go" and just have some fun with it though. I found trying to make the leaves look natural the most difficult, but I can see improvement in my first leaves versus the latter ones.

# data[].attributes.body
Will try this again in a while - once I get some more control!

# data[].attributes.body
This one is a bit too 'open' - circle too large comparison to the size of the flowers.

# data[].attributes.body
A bit closer - the yellow may not have been the best choice.

# data[].attributes.body
Monchromatic - I like this one the best.

# data[].attributes.body
Wreath 1 - Warm tones

# data[].attributes.body
Kept it simple and enjoyed making this floral wreath. Busy week, thought I might get to do a few more, but time is ticking....

# data[].attributes.body
A great experience.  Learned a ton mixing colours and finding the right about of water to add.  So glad I did this.  Very relaxing too!

# data[].attributes.body
wonderful to know this technique, thank you for sharing this with us Lisa

# data[].attributes.body
I really enjoyed re-learning this technique. And especially how to do the viens on the upper leaves, thanks Lisa! I can see where I didn’t use enough water on the brown layer since the brushstrokes are so visible. But all in all a great learning experience!

# data[].attributes.body
An excellent learning exercise. I struggled with creating a uniform background colour -- think I needed more water, but despite realizing that I struggled!!

# data[].attributes.body
I started planning out my xmas cards this weekend and thought I would try poinsettias with the technique we learned. This was fun to do. I got the leaf shapes from the internet, but will try one with real leaves. This is a much smaller scale than what we did in class, on 5x7 Strathmore watercolour cards.

# data[].attributes.body
I enjoyed this practice activity. Still lots to learn about the amount of water, epecially in the detail work, but I could see myself trying this again with different shapes.

# data[].attributes.body
Loved learning the cloud technique and the layering on the landscape. Thank you Lisa! I will definitely be trying this one again! Especially looking forward to practicing more clouds :)

# data[].attributes.body
Loved this activity! Need to work on my trees though ;)

I like my sky - learned something there. Forgot to let my layer dry for round two (oops!). A little too blah...but good practice.

A bit truer to the exercise here. My perspective on the middle-distance trees is off - ideas?

Sky didn't work as planned - I think I have to do it differently next time....and as noted the 'inserted' pink item doesn't look right. So how do we handle that?

Still fooling around with this lesson...

Still fooling around with this lesson...

# data[].attributes.body
Too many hard lines...top of my moon is not well-enough defined. I need help on my 'hard' lines!

# data[].attributes.body
Another poinsettia card. Really enjoying this technique.

# data[].attributes.body
Happier with these clouds, I used Kleenex this time and it seemed to work better on my paper than the paper towels. Cerulean blue doesn’t really work for this though with the Payne’s grey.

# data[].attributes.body
More cloud practice.

# data[].attributes.body
This was really hard! But, I sure learned a lot while doing this one.

# data[].attributes.body
Had fun here. Wasn't sure it was going to come together as we were painting it, but I should trust in our leader! Lots to consider and practice.

# data[].attributes.body
I really enjoyed struggling through this one Lisa

# data[].attributes.body
This was an exercise I’ve been hoping to have for a long while. Another thing to practice for many years but I feel as if i am now going to be less sad about my trees

# data[].attributes.body
The one on the left looks like it has legs…

# data[].attributes.body
The paper dried way too quickly but the exercise was great and I’ll try more of these

# data[].attributes.body
I loved learning both techniques! The reflections were so much fun! Thanks Lisa :)

# data[].attributes.body
Here are the green trees, now, if I only knew how to paint snow on them :) Big snowstorm here last night.

# data[].attributes.body
Overall, I’m pretty happy with this. I can now see where I can finesse this more. Thank you so much Lisa for sharing your incredible knowledge and love of watercolours! It certainly shows through in your teaching.
