Sunset Palm 1
Watercolor 9.5 X 7.35

I've been asked to teach an art class to some young women and it has been a struggle for me. I'm starting from scratch and the lessons have to be simple enough to accomplish in a 2 hour session. Thanks to a video by Jean Lursen, a fellow blogger, I have a simple sunset to try. The top one was done with Mission paints plus payne's gray for the dark area. The bottom one with quin. gold and orange. I'm going to go with the brighter colors for today's class.
I hope I have some student work to post in the future.

  2. Well good for you Jan! I think it'll be fun.
    Where I lived in Plant City it was a senior community and I taught once a week at the Clubhouse there.
    I found it very rewarding, and people are very appreciative of what they learn. Good luck, let me know how it goes..
