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.

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.

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.

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

My Sunday watercolor class did a fantastic job creating these beautiful dandelion seed heads. They learned three new techniques, art masking, salt, and splatter, then using their watercolors they were able to create some really great compositions. Not the easiest thing to tackle for beginning watercolor artist, but I think they handled it like pros. If you are interested in joining our watercolor classes, email me at sharen@sharenchatterton.com , next class, Sunday Feb. 19th.

We started our Sunday afternoon watercolor classes, this past Sunday. I had eight beautiful and creative women trying their hand at painting with watercolors. We used contour drawing and watercolor techniques to create these pieces from my old bottle collection. Each piece was unique and a reflection of the person who created it. It is such a pleasure to share this journey with these ladies, they are each so much fun to work with. Our next class will be Sunday February 5th.
