Would have been beneficial to see an example of what we were painting before actually painting it. Could see how the teacher was doing the technique as she was painting.

I enjoyed my class, Janaya is a terrific painter and I learned a lot by watching her. She let me know I wasn?t as bad as I maybe thought I was and when I got home I practiced using her suggestions. It made a difference. I am looking forward to taking more classes.

Title or Location: Mr Fox
For this 8x10 watercolor painting I used salt on wet paint in the background to give an impression of foliage, and a variety of strong brush strokes in green and blue in the foreground to give the impression of the Fox semi-hidden in grasses. My hope was to convey some of the impish beauty of this elusive woodland creature.

Title or Location: Time heals all?.
This painting was done with various brands of watercolor on Arches cold press. The reason behind it is healing so if you notice, the heart and roses in the back look decomposed while the rose in front of the top of the heart are coming back to life.
