In September 2013 I joined Jane Hargrove’s Wednesday afternoon class, a combination class/workshop/exploration/get-together attended weekly be 3-5 watercolorists. It is held at Elizabeth Aitken’s wonderful studio in the hills of Ashland and has become a high point in my week. We started with the series shown here; first selecting a picture from a large group of Rogue River photos as the basis for the series. We did a fast one-color version to begin with (1), then a 2-color,I cheated a bit and used 3 (2), two abstracts (3,4), and a vertical (4). It was great watching it evolve. I tried to insert the original photo and after 3 crashes I gave up.
