Next class dates are May 3rd & 5th. We will be painting at the Bluebird Iris Farm. Please join in the class.Today was a gorgeous day at Smokey Ridge Ranch in Apple Hill (Camino, CA). We sat under blossoming apple trees with petals fluttering down around us. The view looked out over a pond with geese and red winged black birds. Up the hill behind the pond was extended vistas of the orchard and vineyard.
Today our painting focus was using liquid mask to maintain the pristine white of the apple blossoms while painting wet on wet in the background. We also used the resist to mask out the fence line in order to paint the pond behind it. Our morning and the lesson went quickly as we enjoyed each other's company and the beautiful area we live in.
This summer we will be continuing the series of meadows, gardens, and orchards of El Dorado County by painting lavender, lilies, peonies, and mountain wildflowers. Please email me for more information sbk317@yahoo.com.
Be well,
Susan
