Hello, this is my first attempt at a blog.  I would like to have a blog where I may be able to help you with your watercolors.  I will try to do a step by step.  If you have questions, no matter how silly you think they are, please let me know.  I will try to help you with any problems or question you may have.  

There is something I believe, not everyone is born with artist talent.  If you want to paint bad enough and are willing to try, then you may be pleasantly surprised at what you achieve.  You do not need to have your painting look like your teachers or another student.  Everyone sees things differently. We may be looking at the same landscape, flowers, or animal and we each see it differently.  My feeling for a teacher is to give you fundamental guidelines.  For example, kinds of brushes and purpose of each, explaining good watercolor paper, paints, supplies etc.  Then showing their techniques to achieving the final painting.  That doesn't mean you have to do the exact technique.  You learn several ways/techniques and you then start having your own way/technique to watercolor.

Please post any questions you have.  I will try answer your questions.   Gayle
