Easy Watercolor Relections - Recent Painting Class Demonstration

In a recent watercolor class held at Artisans Harbor on Main Street in Old Saybrook, I demonstrated water reflections. Each step of the painting shown here I explained what I was trying to achieve. From the gradation in the sky and water to the reflections in the rippling water.
The next watercolor class session starts in December if you would like to come and join us. Classes are held at Artisans Harbor 860-388-9070.

Here is the finished acrylic painting of the Maine Shore. I used the texture techniques that I demonstrated in my previous post and you can see a closeup of that in the photo below. This painting had many textures from wood, rock, sand and grass. This painting is on a gallery wrap canvas thirty inches by thirty inches and is on display at the Artisans Harbor on Main Street in Old Saybrook, Connecticut.

I just dropped off my large oil painting of the Saybrook Lighthouses (Lynde Light and Outer Light) in the moonlight! This painting is 4.5' x 4.5' and would look great on a large wall. The painting is in the window so it can be seen from the sidewalk. The hours of Artisans Harbor is Wed-Sat 11am to 7pm and Sundays noon to 4pm. Stop in to see the latest painted decorative furniture and paintings.
