Watercolour Class

I've been taking a weekly watercolour class, and for a newbie painter, it's been a real challenge.
I've learned tons.

Many of the students have painted before, or were trained in college.
I've never done any art in school.
I took one sculpting class in high school, and for a nerd, I was totally intimidated.
The teacher worked with the talented students, us inexperienced students floundered on our own.
That was the last art class I took until now, MANY years later.

Our teacher, Sonya Ravet, has been fantastic.

She is so helpful, and patient with us newbies.

This is our second watercolour landscape.
It was  done just with one colour, Daniel Smith's Undersea Green.
I was pretty happy with how it turned out, and I think it will look better when framed.
