LESSON #75 - Rose Archway

[jennylynn]

doina great start know this will be another great painting
 
Natalie I really do like this, as regards your "cauliflower"  a few dabs of greens in there and you wouldn't even notice it 
 
patricia so sorry you couldn't get into the class 

[SunRai]

Wow - they all look great - even the WIPs!   
 
Patricia - I got the same message, and then realized that for some reason it wasn't showing my profile.  I logged out and back in again, and that solved the problem.  But, I did miss the intro.  At least I hadn't planned to paint along.  So sorry you missed it, though.   
 
I've also found that I can't have anything else running, no other windows open, while viewing the class, or I get even more buffering!  Plus, I think there are unseen "gremlins" at work in my WiFi sometimes!  Anyway, despite it all, it was a great class.  Now, I'm looking forward to the replay so I can see what I missed!   

[doina]

Great work Jennylynn and Natalie. Val, your bushes llok great, and we'll be finishing ours once the replay is out. Somehow my picture is much lighter that it is in reality. It was taken under artificial light. Thanks everyone for encouragement.  Doina

[MaryAnne Long]

Patricia,

I had this problem and Denise and Nolan worked on it until they figured out what went wrong.  They were able to open it eventually, but did give me the info for future classes. I had paid by credit card.  Since then, I have paid by PAYPAL and the class unlocks automatically.

Hope this helps you in the future.

    Well done everyone on your paint-a-long.  They all look wonderful and I am so sad that I wasn't able to participate.
 
Val your painting has great potential. It looks like it is going to be a knock out!! I love the light on top your your front tree/bush.  Good job so far.
 
Jennylynn, gorgeous as always, lovely combination of greens.
 
Doina a good start.
 
Natalie a lovely, lovely painting too.
 
Pat, I tried everything to no avail.  I logged in and out several times but got the repeated message. I then noticed that it said I still had to book the lesson when I had already booked and paid for it so there is something not quite right but Nolan will sort it out as he always does.
 
Anyway, I am looking forward to the replay so that I can do what looked like such an interesting and fun lesson.

   Mea for that information.  I also used a credit card as I always do but this is the first time I have had a problem.  However, when I booked the lesson I had a problem with the "View Cart" showing up on the screen every time I logged on. I contacted Nolan who said to just go in and delete the contents which I did and never thought another thing of it for it resolved the problem of the "View Cart" icon showing.  Anyway, Nolan will get back to me when he has a moment.  Thanks anyway for responding, much appreciated.

To all who started and finished/started and got left behind -  looks like a fun class, as always.  Sorry I wasn't able to join in today.

Nice paintings today folks, although it looked intricate with all those little pickets.

Well done Jenny, aren't you glad this class was an 'easy' one? 

Doina, looks like we have our work cut out for us this week! Good job so far. 

Natalie, I have the answer to your question....too much water! Trust me, I know about caulies!  you did a great job. The roses and arbour look great. 

[CarolHorvath]

Val, nice beginning it looks like it will be great! (I like that green tape-mine is blue)
Jennylynn, very nice painting
Doina,good beginning-I find it easier with a replay
Natalie, I always say Have Cauliflower, Make Tree. Your roses are pretty

Well, I just got home from mothers and finished what was messed up. It is still sad, but loads better than it was.
I had to repaint my fence with white acrylic and then repaint with watercolor. I also made a tree in the back because it just didn't look right. This was a hard one to paint along and watch what Dennis was up to at the same time!!

[Alice L Lemke]

Good job, Carol! You are being too hard on yourself! You did a great job on the shadows.

Have you, or anyone here, ever tried using watercolor ground to restore the white of the paper?   Daniel Smith has 3 different colors and I got a couple of free samples when I ordered from Merriartist.com.  They say can use it on different surfaces so you can paint watercolors on glass, canvas, wood, etc.  I think I'm going to experiment...

I'm sorry I couldn't make the class this week.  I will be ordering the next class, but I will be in Wawona, Yosemite next Sunday so I will not be able to do it live. I volunteer there.  Anyone need photos of REALLY BIG trees? 

Beautiful paintings, everyone!

[njnjgirl]

Val, Jenny, Doina, Natalie and Carol, good job on this.  Very pretty paintings and the ones that are not quite finished I know will turn out wonderful as well.   

[Val]

I can't see anything too worrisome Carol. I think you did a fne job. I like the way your fence turns back into the picture. Great idea. Fantastic job on the foreground, excellent recovery on the fence...of course I am assuming it really did need recovering!     

[jrhall036]

Very impressive painting everyone!  I sure wish the roses around my front yard fence turned out that well this year (and last year, and the year before).  Beautiful!!   

[Happychappy]

    Lovely job Carol, once again, the same picture but so different.  I just love it.  Patricia

[May lynn]

Dear Carolhorvath;
 
I loved your interpretation of the fence in this lesson.  I hope you
don't mind if I do the same in mine.   I am waiting for the replay before
I go ahead with any modifications.  Yay or Nay?
