Beginner, Ariel Strizhevsky, is learning to create the illusion of a sunset sky and reflective water. She did this by applying varying intensities of colored washes to wet paper.
Finally, after the washes had dried, she added the silhouette of the bridge to the picture. Nice work, Ariel!

Student Artist, Simona Friedman, is off to a fantastic start with her self-portrait. 

The secret to achieving a true likeness is becoming more aware of subtle changes in eye and mouth shapes when a person smiles...and in checking your measurements!

Nice work, Simona!

Beginner Artists, Rebecca Riklin and Mariana Johnson, had fun with their first painting project!  They both drew a  horse free-hand while watching me demonstrate how to make the shapes, then they colored their horses using watercolor paints...and they had a great time encouraging and affirming each others' work!

You both did a great job, girls!
