Girls Make a Tuscan Mural for Residents at Walden Rehab

Im very proud of the planning and talents my students brought to this mural in progress. Weeks 1-6 of the 10 week class have been spent in drawing,  painting, color planning and design of the mural. In two, 4-hour work sessions with the help of adult artist assistants Lauren Abele and Doug DeRome we have made great beauty and brought smiles to people's faces. Several staff members and residents also picked up a brush and painted grape leaves and cypress trees.

In this juried show you will experience the fine control, the loose abandon, the vigorous wet stroke, the saturated color-- mixed in the pallette, on the page, or straight from the tube. Watercolor is wet, dry, transluscent, opaque,layered, simple and complex. We invite you to revel in the art of watercolor.
