Spritzy inclement weather made us convene at the Rubin Museum this week for the Wednesday class. We sipped tea (or wine!) at Serai, the museum's cafe, and enjoyed live music. I was trying out a new Loxley enameled metal half-pan watercolor box from Atlantis Art Materials. Of course I started off on slippery-difficult Arches hot pressed paper, just because.



And then I switched to the cold pressed. Not that it was really any easier -- just more familiar. These straight-to-watercolor sketches make my left brain hurt!
