Well today wasn't really "en plein air". We were at a members house and most of the ladies watched watercolor videos. I did both. I drew a plant that was on the table and looked up at the video at times.
Two oil painters went a little distance from the house to paint the mountains. One braved the outside to sketch one of the water features, but got "well done" and escaped inside.
A couple of the ladies sketched each other while watching the video. I did find out some information. In the American Artist magazine, there is an ad to get 3 Daniel Smith tubes of paint and a brush for just about $20. And our art association is going to have some beginner watercolor classes starting in Sept. at our gallery. I also got names of 2 watercolor teachers who do workshops. I will look them up online. I can't go take the workshops, but I can take a look and see what else might be available.
Hubby is out of town for work, hot water heater is not working, I don't have to cook, I can't run the dishwasher, and I am hot and sleepy. May have to take a short nap before I stay up till 3 am.

Jeanne,
Sounds like a good time, even if it was so hot. We're heating up here too...I just keep telling myself that the sweat is weight-loss...the heat then is my no-effort diet plan. Hee hee. The things we tell ourselves!
Hi Jeanne,
On the Daniel Smith offer in American Artist mag... which issue is the ad in? Sounds like a great way to experiment with some new paint!
Jeanne, Sounds like a good time to just relax. Daniel Smith often advertises specials of triads of paint, and usually without a shipping charge which is nice. I've bought a few that way.
