This past weekend Mie, Tesla and I took the RV up to Yosemite for the Strawberry Music Festival. It was a gorgeous weekend! I did a few little watercolors there, and I suppose this is the best one. The very last thing I did at the festival before leaving was attend a watercolor class by Steve Curl where I got to see how an actual artist analyzes and approaches an illustration. I think I learned a bit by attending, from how to think about shapes to understanding how the amount of water used will affect the painting, so hopefully my next attempt will be better.

Here's Steve teaching the class:
