March 3, 2010 - 5"x7" watercolor on paper


This is my first experience with watercolors (since elementary school). I was in Hawaii for a week's vacation with my family. My wife wouldn't let me bring my paints. Something about wanting to spend time with me... Anyway, there was a watercolor workshop at the resort, conducted by a local artist named Donald Hall.

I couldn't begin to list the paints used as the palettes were prepared for us. I know we had thalo blue, cad yellow, cad red, lemon yellow and sap green. Beyond that, your guess is as good as mine.

Long story short, I really enjoyed it and as soon as I got time after getting back, I purchased watercolor supplies.
