Becky explained her steps in creating a painting.
Wednesday, December 7, 2016 was our Christmas meeting when we had a Chinese gift exchange that included lots of hand-made items including crafts and original paintings. Everyone had fun stealing gifts and opening new ones from the gift table until everyone had a gift and all the gifts were open.
Our guest demonstrator was Becky Taylor, a watercolor artist who offers classes in her studio. See more at: Beckytaylorartist.blogspot.com.
She created a complete watercolor painting as she explained her steps.
Holding her color palette, she selected before starting the painting.
Started with a completely wet paper adding color for the background.
Needed a level surface for adding sails on the boats.
Adding an oyster bed and boat details.
Spellbound!
Finished! The mat made the painting pop off the paper!
