WATERCOLORS OF LANDSCAPE FROM A HIGH POINT OF VIEW, May-June 2015
An unusual point of view can make a watercolor interesting. For this class, students painted the view from a window on a high floor of the library looking on to the campus of San Jose State. They were inspired by Wayne Thiebaud's city views.

WATERCOLOR CLASS May-June 2015 A RED PAINTING
A RED PAINTING
In this class, students painted a still life with all red objects. The problem was how to differentiate each object from another. Students were allowed to choose whether to include a red rose in the still life, and all students accepted the challenge. The rose interpretations came out very well!
