A couple of months ago I was checking the fall classes on Joggles and came across one taught by Jane LaFazio. It is Sketchbook and Watercolor: Journal Style. I am always trying to keep up with my journal, which isn't any better taken care of than this blog. BUT I have wanted to sketch and use watercolors in my journal for a long time. I must say there is a learning curve when the water part of this watercolor painting becomes involved with the paint. And a dab of paint goes a very long way. And there are suppose to be some white areas left after the watercolors have been applied and light areas. That is a problem too and contours.
I have completed my first sketch and painted it with watercolors. I have a ways to go and I must remember to keep telling myself that if I knew how to do this, I wouldn't be in the class.
It is fun most of the time and I will not let those watercolors defeat me. I have learned a little about those as well and not all are created equal. I had a little set of watercolors I thought would work for the class until I started checking them out and ordered some others. So I have the first lesson completed, but should work on some other things throughout the week.
I think you did a great job with your water color. I'm impressed. ann
ReplyDeleteThanks Ann. We will see how the next one goes.
ReplyDeleteThis is the only way I can find you.4,400 entries already and we're only on the first lesson. I haven't posted mine yet. I wonder if it will be found by Jane???

ps I meant to say how real your painting of the fruit looks.
Great work.
Thanks Ricky. I don't think I have ever been in an online class that has had so many posts just on the first lesson!!!
ReplyDeleteThis is one class a person cannot fall behind in when it comes to reading the forums.
