A couple of exercises

There is no class 5 June so we continue with this project at home until we return for our 12 June class.  The pages below show two projects for you to try. The first one we did in class and the second is new but using broadly the same approach. Both are good for the range of skills you learn along the way. Remember to use plenty of paint, be bold and keep the surface moist in the early stages. 
Allow surface to dry properly only if/when you want to add glazes (colour washes of colour on top of each other). 
Here are the two projects taken from an excellent book by Linda Kemp "Watercolour: painting outside the lines" published by North Light Books (buy this book on Amazon if you want more demonstrations like those shown below).
