Hi! Yesterday was my Roses Class at Norfolk Botanical Gardens. We had 4 students,pictured are Kathy,Bobbie, and Jeffery.. also Corey. We had a lovely time.Here are the roses from the gardens we enjoyed painting. Yes they smelled divine,so very sweet and different smells for different roses. We all painted roses. Kathy, a large red rose, which involved lots of glazing, Jeffery, chose a yellow one, Bobbie a peach rose,and Corey, did an orange one.All did a beautiful job. I did demonstrations,and we went over ..sketching,basic washes,... We had an exercise in contour drawing and filled the day with watercolor and roses...how wonderful! Have a great rest of your weekend. talk to you soon,Diana
I still love how you did your rose. It is just gorgeous and I do not tire of seeing it. I would bet it was a hard choice for all of your students because each of the roses is beautiful in its own right. Two of them draw my eye - the dark red and the purple on the left side. I'd have had a hard time choosing. You had a great class size too!
ReplyDeleteDear Diana - I wish I could have been there - I just know I would so enjoy watching you paint and demonstrate your lovely art - especially roses. They are truly the queen of the garden. Hope you have a great week.
