 It was an honor to teach the workshop for several local GCVAA Members, October 26 and November 2, 2013. Amazingly within two days the five participants presented work in which I was impressed! Time was spent outside class by the participants learning how "to allow the watercolor" pigments to mingle and mix on the paper to produce beautiful hues. Participants felt comfortable sharing what they had learned and what they needed to do to move on with watercolors. Because it was a small class, they received lots of individual attention! Andrew Wyeth once said, "Watercolor is a spoiled brat." Edgar Whitney said, "Watercolor obeys its own laws." The first step in understanding watercolor knows how the watercolor will react to the amount of moisture on the paper and in the brush. That is when you truly start understanding the watercolor medium and have the, "AH! HA" moment! I loved the questions and the remarks from the participants. All agreed it was time well spent. Everyone especially enjoyed the atmosphere in the elegant Teapot Museum. Visitors not only took pictures of the teapots but the workshop activities. All agreed it was time well spent and the time flew by! 
Participants: Nell Lemings, Leigh Butler, Regina Crawley, Martha Kirby, and Elaine Pritchard
