Joanie has been taking watercolor classes and workshops with me since 2003. I am so proud to be sharing her beautifully rendered work with you this month.
Why did you choose to study watercolor? "I love watercolor because you have to surrender to having total control. It feels humbling to me and also exciting because you never know what happy accidents will occur. Looking at watercolor paintings is so satisfying for me - the freshness and diversity is always there. Being able to create some part of that, at times, is thrilling. I also love the challenge of it."
What do you enjoy painting most? "I like to paint anything in nature - especially flowers. My next challenge will be to include some people, even if it is just the suggestion of a person."
What keeps you coming to "Time to Paint" every month? " I always enjoy the painting classes and do anything not to miss one. The camaraderie with my fellow artists is something I look forward to each time we meet. I have been taking classes for about 5 years and am still always learning something new."
