Here are three versions of Monet's Japanese Footbridge. All painted in watercolor by delightful and delighted students. They learned the wet in wet method which really set them free. The other beginning lesson was in perspective. Good perspective is one of the major problems my adult student's struggle with. These kids got the idea pretty quickly. My favorite quote of the class was hearing a 5 year old boy say "Wouldn't it be fun to live in this painting?" I hope he keeps that playful attitude as he matures.
