The following watercolor pieces were created using wet into wet technique, as well as a little salt. Come create a watercolor stained glass in our next Sunday watercolor class. Sign up now, space is limited.

What a fantastic job these ladies did on their pumpkins, we used a saran wrap technique and got some great texture in our pumpkins. Sunday Watercolor at Gypsy Muse Studio, 106 East Texas Street, Grapevine, Texas.

We had a great watercolor class at Gypsy Muse Studio, we finished up our Fall leaves and pods, that we had started at the last class. As usual, the ladies did spectacular. We used wet on wet, layers, and ink to finish them out. Great job, don’t you think! Next Watercolor classes, Sunday October 7th, email me at sharen@gypsymuse studio.com if you would like to join us.

Had a couple folks finish up their roosters, what a great job.

We have been working on Stargazer Lilies and a Rose. Some have finished, some have not, but they are all coming along really well. These are lengthier pieces than we have worked on before, so they have had to practice watercolor patience as they complete these beauties.

In our last watercolor class we used a light source to cast exaggerated shadows on our flowers. We then used complementary colors to create our flowers and cast shadows. For the most part we finished up, but still had a little work to do on some. Once again the ladies did a fantastic job.

What fun we have been having in our watercolor classes the last couple of Sundays. These ladies can paint, no matter what they say. We have been spending a lot of time on flowers, they are just so beautiful in my front and side yard. Cone flowers, sunflowers, day lilies, zinnias oh my! We also created an eight pane window using complimentary colors, turning cone flowers into sunflowers. We didn’t quit finish, but what a great start.

Sunday Watercolor tomatoes

What a great time we had on Sunday, painting those forever beautiful tomatoes. Everyone created their own study of four and I think they all turned out fantastic! We each added our own doodles to make them sparkle even more. Jane and Pam, I don’t know how, but somehow I missed getting photos of each of yours, hopefully I can catch them next time. Enjoy the photos, we will meet again this Sunday, April 29th.

Sunday’s watercolor class was all about the clematis in my side yard. Every year this time, they give a spectacular show! The ladies did such a great job, although everyone did not finish, it is easy to see they will be beautiful when they are complete. Up coming classes:

April 15  10:45 til 12:45

April 15 1:00 til 3:00

The love of watercolors, or maybe it’s just taking time out to be creative, is growing. We are now having a watercolor class every Sunday afternoon. Sunday Watercolor One has from 8 to 10 beautiful ladies in it and we are beginning to fill the Sunday Watercolor Two class, with 6 showing up for the first class this past Sunday. What a creative group in both classes. We practiced with washes, flat, graded and variegated, then applied some of these techniques to produce a study of leaves in Sunday Watercolor One. In the Sunday Watercolor Two class, we used salt and variegated washes to produce the stained glass trees. If you are interested in joining one of the classes, email me at sharen@sharenchatterton.com.

Sorry Pam, I don’t know how, but I missed getting a photo of your work, will catch it next time.

Sunday’s watercolor class was all about painting pansies. A fantastic subject to practice the wet into wet technique with watercolors. The ladies did great, despite the challenges this lesson presented. Although they did not finish their pieces, what they completed, looked great!
