Wonderful ...

We had a wonderful workshop today with the Saturday Watercolor Group!

I was excited about the lesson and everyone felt they learned a lot and felt good about the paintings (even though two had to leave early ... it is the holidays, you know!)!

The Lesson in complementary colors and controlling those colors was hidden in the holiday subject of POINSETTIAS.

I know that I will be painting more ... 'tis the season!
