This day has been on my calendar for weeks, and I eagerly anticipated taking a Water Color Media class with my friend, Melissa, and many other amazing art teachers! I was originally worried about signing up for this class with so many artistically talented individuals, and was afraid I would embarrass myself with my total lack of knowledge and skills in art. Thanks a million, Melissa, for encouraging and motivating me to step out of my comfort zone and join you for the day! I loved my experiences surrounded by so many wonderful teachers, including the demonstration lessons, helpful tips and pointers from others, great food, and getting to know new people. My first attempt this morning was fun, and didn't seem too intimidating. My product is shown above. My second piece(shown below) was much more challenging as I learned additional techniques to enhance my work. I decided to embrace different colors the second time around, and then struggled with my decision all afternoon. I am proud of my new learning and what I accomplished in a 6 hour class, and think that I might really enjoy playing with watercolors again really soon! Compliments to Lisa Miller, our instructor of the day, for a terrific workshop, and much gratitude to the very kind art teachers from the Brazos Valley who encouraged me along the way! What a rewarding experience!
