watercolor class 02

had the second watercolor class last night.  got my supplies this past week and came ready to paint.  we only had 5 students this time, including myself, and we went through more introductions and the reasons we took this class. 
one of my reasons for taking this class is my main watercolor inspiration, david walker, a british painter who does the most amazing and moving architectural renderings i’ve ever seen!  i will be very happy if i become at least half as good as he is!  check out his website: http://davidwalkervisuals.com/  he also has a fine art work website at http://www.davidwalkerstudio.com/
we spent some time observing in-class demonstrations, then we started to sketch a still life to study the shades and values in the composition.  unfortunately, we only had a short time left to paint.  this is the partial painting i’ve done during class, with a quick and dirty base wash, wishing i had more time to really get into it.
