Poudre River Rapids Demo

The autumn weather has been beautiful! My Monday watercolor class is taking advantage of plein air painting before the snow flies. The water was running fairly high for this season and produced some white water. The class was curious how you would capture this....here is my attempt! Enjoy!

Plein Air at The Gardens on Spring Creek

This morning was the perfect painting day! We gathered in the children's garden as I did this demo of the "Pot Heads". I painted in my Moleskin watercolor journal. The drawing was completed with a Micron Pigma 05 marker, then watercolor added. Enjoy!

Plein Air at Cherokee Park

We had the chance to paint at the home of my student Steve, in the Cherokee Park area of Northern Colorado. What a spectacular setting to spend the day painting. This is my demo in the beginning stages. It was cut short because of the rain. We tried to paint in the rain as long as we could. Even with an umbrella, rain and watercolor painting is a bit challenging!
