Artists Abound

Art at the Lake Florida Style

Tuesday afternoon I drove out to Naples Pier.  Many artists have painted this scene.

After leaving the pier I headed to Third Street downtown Naples.  There were people everywhere.  Forty artists were set up at different spots downtown.  Here are a few shots.

I could be out to art shows everyday in this area!!!!  I have now registed for five classes in a Watercolour 201 course.  It covers impressionistic landscapes.  Quite a change from the Abstract Course I've just completed.  Painting is a hobby that even goes on vacation with me. Happy Painting!

Monday Afternoon Art Group

Here are a couple of photos taken at the Monday afternoon art group in Ft. Myers.  The guy leading the critique is from London, Ontario. Yes I do have a painting up for critique - painted from a friend's photo taken while she was in Belgium.

Magic Product

Yesterday at an art class I saw a demo of a product I didn't even know existed.  It's magic for a watercolourist.  It allows you to white out an area if used without diluting it or use with water to tone down an area.  It can be painted over. Sure beats scrubbing the heck out of the paper.

The product is Aqua Cover Up.  On the bottle it says "liquid watercolour paper" and "gives the appearance of Arches natural white colour" when used full strength.  It worked on toning down an area on my painting. The instructor got hers online. It's definitely going to be a must have for me.
