New England artist Paul George, a signature member of the National Watercolor Society and an active member of the New England Watercolor Society just taught a 3-day workshop for us this past weekend.

While the weather report kept suggesting that thunder storms were heading our way, they never showed up, so the class was able to enjoy painting outdoors quite a bit. This shot was taken during one of Paul’s morning demos.

The pool was open and inviting, although it is still a bit brisk! However, with a couple of 90 degree days, it is warming up quickly and several folks jumped in for a swim after class.

It is the time for purple flowers in the forest. Its seems like each month a different wild flower is blooming in the forest.

On the final day of the workshop, the class was learning how to add figures into their landscapes/cityscapes.

Peggy G showed me all of the wonderful paintings she worked on during the class. Nice!
