Join this session for tips on how to use your camera settings to creatively capture nature in a visually interesting way. We will be looking at composition, focus, and colour.Many professional offices and places of business have large prints gracing their wall space of things such as fields of flowers, a butterfly perched on a leaf, and a single dew drop on a rose petal. These beautiful images are all around us in nature. It just takes that special "eye" to not only see it but to capture it in a way that will turn that simple little piece of nature into a beautiful piece of art. We will learn how to use different angles, light and shadows, and settings to make subjects pop.

Shadows and light have always felt magical to me. Whenever I come across a scene that captures these elements beautifully, I?m instantly drawn to paint it. When I stumbled upon the photo of this quaint little Parisian caf? street, bathed in the warm winter morning light filtering through the trees, I simply couldn?t resist the urge to bring it to life in watercolor.I hope you enjoy my painting, especially the play of light and shadows ? it was an absolute joy to create.

Hi, my name is Jessi. I grew up in the Sacramento area, and have moved around to other states and back a few times. I took up watercolors about a year and a half ago or so after my mother-in-law gifted me a set of watercolor paints. At first I was intimidated by the medium, because I had never been successful with watercolor in the past, but chose to give them a go again since I had them, and found that this time was much different than before. I found a new passion for the medium, and am always

For this 8x10 watercolor painting I used salt on wet paint in the background to give an impression of foliage, and a variety of strong brush strokes in green and blue in the foreground to give the impression of the Fox semi-hidden in grasses. My hope was to convey some of the impish beauty of this elusive woodland creature.

This painting was done en plein air at the Memphis Botanic Garden. I am preparing for an art based tour of Provence during which I hope to complete an entire watercolor sketchbook.
