We’re over the mid point of the watercolor night class I’m teaching at Syn Studio – so that means we’re doing the fun stuff now! We started with fruit and still-life, did some work with a gesture model, so now we’ll start some larger, more challenging subjects.

The other week we did some ‘speed drills’ painting heads from photo reference, and then last night applied what we’d practiced to a three hour pose with a costumed model.  It’s a lot of fun to see the students getting more confident with the water media.

Here’s my in-class demos:
