Watercolor Workshop Day 1

Today was Day 1 of a two day Watercolor Workshop with Lorelle bacon at the Swannanoa Valley Fine Arts League.  There were nine students ranging in age from 11 to 85 and it was a lot of fun!  We experimented with several different techniques before beginning our projects for the day.  Our first one was a snow scene...I'm still working on that one.  Then we started a still life of a cluster of grapes in a crystal bowl. 
Yep, it was the first time I had tried to paint crystal in any medium.  It was a bit tedious, but fun nevertheless.

It was certainly a challenge. Hope you enjoy seeing today's project... 5" x 7" on 140 lb watercolor paper.
