Picking up where I left off...

It has been a year since I took the watercolor workshop from Anne Abgott.  It was a wonderful workshop.  The last day we had only half-day to start this painting.  We were all given color and black and white photographs to work from, and Anne gave a demonstration on painting the melons and the silver and cup.  None of us got much done, and I really wanted to finish this.  I re-read my notes from the workshop, and re-studied her book "Daring Color" to refresh my memory on her technique.  It is fun to do watercolor again!  And I'm enjoying working in my studio at my drafting table that was in storage for 4 years.

The melons and the silver objects look perfect. I'd like to be a part of that workshop myself!
