Pear-ology

I am taking a workshop from Martha Lever Of Red Door Art Studio called Pear-ology.

 It is all about painting with glazes in watercolor.

 The subject is, of course, pears, and the techniques she teaches are wonderful. 

I love her cute southern manner and her straightforward teaching style.

 I feel really excited to learn some techniques for watercolors. 

I have always, always been drawn to them, and it is exciting to finally be unlocking some of their secrets!

Here are my beginnings:

I still need quite a bit of practice, and I am slowly building up my supplies of paints and I just ordered a new palette from Cheap Joes!

This one is round so you can set it up like a color wheel. It helps visually with mixing colors. Since I am so visual and I can never remember the rules of color mixing I thought, this is the palette for me!
