At the end of the day you will create a small portfolio to hold your artwork. The class is geared for beginners, but all levels are welcome. Fifteen dollar materials fee includes everything you’ll need: watercolor paper, ink pen, pencil and watercolor set with special Niji Waterbrush. $95/$15 materials fee. $85 if you register 2 weeks prior

Kissin the Blarney Stone, Ireland

Day 2, Ireland
Seriously, I'm disappointed that I didn't make more time to sketch and paint. I'm always telling my students to grab 20 minutes or so and draw in your journal. I'd hoped to create many pages of this trip to Ireland, but...too much time on the tour bus is my excuse. I feel bad that I didn't really capture any of the friggin GREEN of Ireland!

The blarney stone is a stone in the wall of Blarney Castle. According to an Irish legend, those who kiss the Blarney Stone receive a gift of eloquence that enables them to obtain, through persuasion, anything they want.
On that note, my after-school art program, Mundo Lindo, free to low income 4th & 5th grade kids needs your donation. We've raised $490 towards our $5,000 challenge grant. Won't you make a donation, please? The matching grant will double whatever you donate and it's tax deductible.

The red chop (stamp), on the page, on the top means tiger, because I'm born the year of the tiger. I'm a metal tiger, in case you're wondering.....

Rose
Another. I should have known better, and had the rose facing in. Oh well, that's why I'm making lots of these, to figure out the best way to do them. Watercolor. Hand carved stamp. 5x7 on hot press watercolor paper. I'd like to have a clever name for this process---Any ideas? "draw & paint a flower, design & carve a stamp" is not exactly catchy.
Huge thanks for the positive remarks and support for Mundo Lindo!!
