 I have recently been giving watercolor art classes at our little community art store called Bear Creek Mercantile  (look us up on FB)   This is a piece we created in class last week.  Classes are inexpensive and geared towards the beginner and intermediate student.  For more information, feel free to email me at kaylodahl@gmail.com   .

I have to admit, I usually always trace my art for watercolor and pastels but with the help of a tutorial from Phil Davies on you tube, I was able to produce this fun piece yesterday.  Black and white pastel on gray toned drawing paper.  All hand drawn..  Fun stuff.  It's upped my game plan for future work.

A friend gave me permission to paint this cute photo of her daughter giving a donkey a BIG hug.  I call it "Best Hug Ever"...  9x12  Mother and daughter were delighted when I gave it to them...

Took a workshop with Birgit O'Conner only to be totally inspired by her techniques.  The first is my rendition of Magnolias...  done in class..  The cactus flower was the second project in class and proved to be the most challenging for me.    Both of these are 22x30 on 300# watercolor paper..

This 8x8 painting is done with Brusho Art Powders... almost exclusively.  I love the intensity they provide in my art...  might have to make this one my Christmas card.
