The Eyelash Curler
Jessica got into the class at the last possible moment - she'd played around with drawing on her own, and the eyelash curler just goes to show that we have unique subject matter all around us - she did an excellent job - only using black, blue and gray. What was interesting is that Jessica told us at the first class that she'd seen an ad in one of the local circulars about a juried art show and had entered a drawing - just on a lark. How exciting for her and for us to find a week later that she had won an award!
The Spanish Steps, Rome, Italy
Evelyn was really a catalyst in my teaching watercolor journaling - when she heard that the North Charleston Artist Guild was going to offer various art classes, and that I was thinking of teaching watercolor journaling, she got so excited that she bought supplies 6 months before we even had the planning completed for the class. When I looked at her first attempt, I knew exactly what and where it was, and it really stunned her that I recognized it - I love how she uses vignettes and captures the essence of a place without painting a lot of detail. She does a lot of light drawing but I love how she doesn't paint everything.
Roman Ruins
Evelyn continued her travel journal of places in Italy - you can see she is already developing a distinct style with vignettes, big shapes, blocks of color - very nice, very readable. I'll be excited to see what she does in April - she has already signed up for the next class round!
