Beautiful cosmos Kathy!

  Thank you, Denise. I loved the lesson. I want to paint more flowers soon. 

[Annie.]

Kathy, you did such a beautiful painting of the cosmos.  Keep painting now! 

[Kathysutterlin]

Kathy, you did such a beautiful painting of the cosmos.  Keep painting now! 

  Annie! I really appreciate your encouragement.  Oh yes, I am excited to continue painting. Getting ready to start lesson 2 which is painting tonal values. It does not look as fun as the cosmos but I'm sure it will be a valuable class. 

[Annie.]

Actually it is fun.  I enjoyed it very much.   And you will need it to do the third lesson... although someway into the third painting I forgot it was about 'simplifying a scene' and got caught into details.

Everyone said dont be afraid of Water Colour so I tackled the  Cosmos,   I dropped paint everywhere and the paint blead under my masking tape  and its no where near what it should look like but I am intrigued and am now looking forward to exploring this medium further.   Thanks Dennis for your interesting and informative class 

Sorry its a bit of a murky photo

  your cosmos are very nice, Win. I just finished this lesson too. I'm glad your intrigued and going to continue. It's fun, isn't it?  I look forward to learning along side you. 

[Win]

Thanks Kathy 

Your painting is very well done and I think that you are going to be producing amazing paintings very soon.

Win, your painting is also well done - nice and neat and a good background

You are off to a good start with watercolor, Win.  The cosmos painting looks good.

My worst beginner's mistake with this painting was when I mistakenly used oil paint for the white and all the other colors were WC.  Fun thing is - it came out really well.

  Dennis, I enjoyed the informative tutorial of this class.

  Mea,   Oil and water!! Lucky you it worked out.

Great job Win. You know, it amazes me how you newcomers to w/c manage to paint this without any cauliflowers!

[Annie.]

No worries Val,  cauliflowers will come later when we stop copying each of Dennis brush strokes
