Watercolor Journaling class

I have always been afraid to work with color,especially watercolor !! I am a "black line" person, graphite, ink and sometimes charcoal.
The adventure began,where else, @ the Encinitas,CA  libray....as previously noted my favorite place !
Barbara is a very experienced jouralist , an exceptional watercolorist and a very patient teacher. Her message was journal, journal, journal everyday as often as you can.
 This has been great advice for me !!

My first journal entry unnder direct instruction. I was hooked !!

Thoughts @ the ocean. How can you not feel good hearing the sound of the waves.

I just like moon jellies. Jellyfish are such a peaceful creatures.

This one started a new venture !!

More to follow

You practice it relieves stress and sometimes even comes out pretty good. I have a fear of watercolors and this has allowed me to experiment. Sort of the "Sienfeld " theory just about "nothing ". I have been doing what I feel ,significant to only me !! But I am surprising myself...this is fun and a great destressor.As I venture with color, I am being careful. I don't want anything to be "Kinkade" like. Too,too sweet !! Last time I toured one his galleries, I felt a sugar overload. His pieces are nice, don't get wrong. Just not my style ...if I have a style ???
