Watercolor class, fall 2011, projects

Here are a few samples of the completed work by the watercolor students.  Remember some are first time art students with no background in drawing or foundations.   The beginners were able to hold their own in the class and do some wonderful work right along with the students with more art background.  I am proud of the courage and perseverance it took on their part to accomplish all they did in one semester.  I think you will find that everyone did a wonderful job with their first landscape!

The following is work by James Deckertt.  He is very advanced and I am proud to announce that one of the things that came out of his taking this class was that I had him work on contacting galleries.  He has made some contacts with promising results.  I look forward to seeing his work in some Kansas City galleries soon.  I will keep you posted on where you can see his work.

Remember that James like to add a little twist, a visual conundrum, in most of his paintings.  It makes them fun to look at and adds a level of complexity to the composition.
