Scumbling, values, and underpainting!

Watercolor Camp...

Day 2 at Augusta Prep

We worked on our value skills making a 9 point grayscale and did some drawing and a little free painting:

Wonderful Watercolor Camp, Augusta Prep, this week!

Day 1....

We learned our palette from Phthalo Blue to Harvest Wheat... 

then dreamed of cool ocean waters as we practiced flat washes of color, 

and finally, did a little magic and made a circle into a sphere. 

We are working toward something....can you guess what it is?

Wonderful Watercolor Camp runs at Augusta Prep this week from 12 to 2. 

You can find more information on the Prep website here.

     "Atticus stood up and walked to the end of the porch. When he completed his examination of the wisteria vine he strolled back to me.

      "First of all," he said, "if you can learn a simple trick, Scout, you'll get along better with all kinds of folks. You never really understand a person until you consider things from his point of view---"

      "Sir?"

      "---until you climb into his skin and walk around in it."
