The location was really good (a bit cold but it is January) and Adrian was really knowledgeable and very patient. I?m a complete beginner but I did pick up a few pointers which I?ve already used at home. Would definitely attend again as I found it really worthwhile.

Title or Location: Highland Threshold
This piece emerged during a study in limited palette work, using only magenta, blue, yellow and Payne?s Grey to explore warm and cool contrasts. As the layers built, the stag began to feel less like a symbol and more like a quiet presence ? something appearing between mist and light, supported by the land. I was drawn to letting edges soften and dissolve into the landscape, allowing the stag to feel both grounded and ethereal at once.

Title or Location: Artfully Coy
The California Trail Interpretive Center (west of Elko, NV) hosted a ?learn & paint? activity. The subject was owls. I began this piece during the hourlong class, then, finished later giving myself a little freedom to venture away from the exact lesson example. I?m fairly new to watercolor and wanted to focus on: edges (lost, soft, found, etc.) and the expressiveness of the bird?s face. I truly enjoyed the experience of being out, painting amongst other artists, and continue to attend their

Title or Location: Springtime at Ault Park Pavilion
My Ault Park Pavilion painting was inspired by a perfect spring day when my husband and I wandered beneath the cherry blossoms at Ault Park. He paused to take photos of the blooms while I soaked in the beauty of the pavilion I?ve always loved?its arches, its history, its quiet elegance. That peaceful moment together, surrounded by soft pink petals and the architecture I adore, became the heart of this piece.
