We're back! This morning was spent going to a safari drive-thru park so the girls could see the lions, tigers, elephants, camels, hippos, bison, monkeys and giraffes. They're now swimming in the lake while I try to complete this posting.
Last weekend's watercolor and Copic classes led by Sandy Allnock were terrific. We learned great techniques in watercoloring floral scenes, and how to achieve a watercolor effect using the Copic markers. Here are some of the works-in-progress by the students.

NOTE: Janice learned somewhere online to add a line
to add eyelids that give dimension to the eyes. As you can see, that
little suggestion really works! |

After Kerri saw what Janice had done with the birds' eyes, she added eyelashes to her bird.

That's all I have for this posting. Please remember that Art 'n Soul will be closed this Saturday in observance of the Fourth of July!
This is a photo of Hannah taken by her pet sitter, Lisa. She looks pretty darn happy and doesn't seem to be bothered by the fact we are not there with her. Oh well.
Thanks for stopping by. I'll be back in another day or so. Tonight, the shops in the Town Center are open all evening because it is "Pink Night" and we're all going in after dinner. So, I shall close because I must find something casual dressy to wear. Ciao!
