Bringing Fall To Central Valley
I prepared this Impressionistic style painting of the Fall landscape for one watercolor lesson that I performed last Friday.
The school is located in Central Valley, California (in Kings County), where Fall is coming either late or never. Oh no, of course, they will get a few yellow and red leaves closer to November-December. But now, all trees are green, farmers are finishing harvest, and the only indications of Fall are pumpkins in the grocery stores.
At the lesson, there were 36 students from grade 2 to 6. All of them were thrilled to try wet-on-wet technique and could not believe they can paint a Fall Landscape within an hour.. But we not only accomplished this, we even had a few minutes for a Pumpkin card project using an illustrative technique.
Everyone had fun, even a couple of teachers asked to give them a brush and started painting :0)
