My friend and I signed up for this assuming we would be in a larger group, but we were pleasantly surprised that it ended up being a private lesson for the two of us. Jacquelyn was helpful, positive, and fun to chat with while we all painted. This was a great session for my to get more confident with watercolors!

Found an image on Unsplash that I liked, and focused on the flowers first. I then decided I liked it without ?finishing? the window and wall. This piece was entered into the Dayton (Ohio) Society of Artists member show and sold opening weekend.

This painting is a spontaneous watercolor of my impression of where I live. I painted it from a rough sketch I had drawn in one of my sketchbooks. I started with out any pencil marks on the watercolor paper so that it would be loosely painted.

1st Watercolor. This was piece was done from a photo reference of a house my wife liked. A dream of ours to live near the coast. As water color is not my main medium and is new to me, I enjoy being part of water color sites. There I can find inspiration and learn new things. I don?t usually post any of my art. I am flattered that Denver Watercolor Group has showed interest in this piece. I was curious how my first attempt would be received?I plan on continuing to learn more and sharing my progr

I aimed to create a warm yet solemn tone, reflecting a memory from my youth over 31 years ago. Back then, I worked at Allen Lewis Manufacturing in North Denver with a friend who was an airbrush artist. On weekends, we?d head to the Mile High Flea Market, where he airbrushed t-shirts, and I handled the money. As the day wound down, we?d celebrate with Budweiser,

Title or Location: Grizzer in Water
I'm just getting back into painting after a tough emotional year. I'm not going to lie - it's primarily a comfort for me. But the feedback I've received since sharing my paintings over the past month encouraged me to share them more.

I knew it'd be a challenge since I have never painted anything like this before but I'm pretty happy with the result. There were moments where I doubted if I
