Watercolour Workshop at @aldercreekstudio1

Joined with other fellow artists for a watercolour workshop today. Instructor Marion Anderson demonstrated first and then we attempted to replicate what she did.

This is my attempt as we blocked out what would be the birch trees. We added salt to the wet paint to make falling snow…neat idea!

My completed watercolour.

See how the salt reacted with the wet paint ?

In the afternoon I painted this scene looking out the windows of the studio on a much larger sheet of paper. There were some amazing paintings produced and a wonderful time spent with very creative artists.
