The learning curve - Watercolour Workshop 1

Doing work points the way to new and better work to be done.
- Julia Cameron


Original "Field in Oaktree" watercolour 12" x 8"

During my watercolour workshop, my teacher took my above painting to demonstrate to the class how a good painting can become exceptional - she showed me where to add some colour and soften some lines, and to add some softness in the distance to draw the eye to the focal point. Little changes, but with amazing results! We could play, "Spot the difference" here!


"Field in Oaktree" corrected

I know what I think, you be the judge! - this is such a learning curve for me and I'm so excited, and impatient! and ready, to go to the next level of my growth.

  1. Wow, that is incredible Maree - a really graphic demonstration of how to turn good into outstanding. What an exciting time for you (and us - show us more!)

  2. Surely will Cathy! That was my first workshop, next on on the 17th March, so let's see what happens then with the homework we had to do!

  3. I agree with Cathy.... a wonderful demo of how one could improve on a great painting. Fascinating!
