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.
