Portales NM Watercolor Workshop

 This past week end I was in Portales, NM for a 2 day watercolor workshop. We had a good group, and had a lot of fun.  Everybody did an awesome job. We started out with 10 but due to some health issues and other things, we had 5.
 We concentrated on rust, and old metal, and lots of grass.
To do rust, use Kosher salt on your wet paint!
it works great.
There is a program you can download that is really good, if you are interested. It is called RoynaSoft Poster Printer.

 Showing them the RoynaSoft Pro Poster prog.

 

 

Christmas Card Workshop

 This past week end I had a one day class for painting Christmas paintings, then turning it into a card.
I did two fences. One with just one color, the rest black, and then one in color.  Some did the fence and some did their own painting.
We did the painting, then they learned how to take a good photo,
and put in the computer, to crop, enhance, and then turn it into a card.
It was a lot of fun.Or I had fun anyway! I love sharing what I have learned.
a friend, Paige Lollar is taking photography classes and she ask if she could photo us during the class.  I really like the black and white photo!
