Watercolor Class

This weekend I will be teaching a watercolor project. The piece is called Standing Watch. It is from a photo taken by a marsh near our old home. I grew up in Delaware and we lived for a number of years in Maryland. These areas are flat and you have coastline, so there are swamps and marshes--after all, you are near the water. When we moved to the mountains of northern Pennsylvania, I was amazed at the number of marshy areas you find in the mountains. In any event, one day we were driving by the marsh and saw a white heron standing in the water. This is my interpretation of that photo.
