LESSON #65 - Dragonflies

[Sacgal/Sharon]

Back from a brief vacation in Puerto Vallarta and so happy to be taking another PB watercolor class!  This was a fun painting to do - I think my background should have been lighter to make these guys pop more...especially enjoyed learning how to paint the wings for that see through effect...as always, open to any suggestions for improvement!

Nice Sharon! I can see from this that even bugs can have personality!

Cute as a bug! Oh, it is a bug  ....Really kidding aside, very well done Sharon!  This was a fun one, wasn't it?

Excellent work Sharon great detail and well executed in your wings      Ray

[Sacgal/Sharon]

  all! Usually I'm not much of a bug person but I'm becoming rather fond of these guys! A photographer friend of mine I showed this to has sent me a few dragonfly photos he's taken over the years so i'll have lots of opportunities to practice what I've learned!

I think this is just great Sharon and I really like the color of the background. I think it is rich and perfect.

[Sacgal/Sharon]

Thanks, Lynn - and I've become much happier with the background the more I look at the painting!
