I took a water color class
..for about an hour. Ann Lindsay is a wonderful watercolor teacher sharing this Omega week in Costa Rica with us. Here are some pictures of her demonstrating how to do a watercolor of the view we were all looking at.

The first thing she taught us was how to look. Make a frame with your fingers and look through and you can even squint a little bit. That is how you use your picture.

She showed how to make many colors from just yellow, red and two shades of blue. She likes to always draw a little frame around the edge of the page. I liked that, too.

Here is her painting. That was our lovely view from the balcony by the cafe. I thought that was all very interesting and I enjoyed it. But then I got nervous and left and did not paint a thing. Silly me.
