This past week, she taught a FABULOUS watercolor class. She drew and posted a sketch of an iris so that we, the viewers, could print it out and paint along.
I had a blast and here is the result:
I printed the image from my home inkjet printer onto 140lb hot press water color paper that I cut down to 8.5 X 11". Dede instructed us to print it out onto plain cardstock if we didn't have anything else available. I'm not sure what I will do with my iris, but I'm thinking of cutting it out and incorporating it into my art journal.
Besides providing us with the amazing sketch, Dede was patient and encouraging as we worked through the techniques using watercolor paints and pencils. She is a wonderful artist!
