Minnesota Watercolor Society (MNWS) Members Day

It was the day after the big storm in Minnesota.  We drove to Baker National Park Golf Course and passed several houses and traffic lights without power and down trees. Fortunately the Baker National Park just got their power back on when we arrived.

The fun day started with a demo by Lisa Fertig. She showed her approach to abstract painting.

It's wonderful to see how a painting started as a chaotic interplay of colors becomes this cohesive and interesting artwork.

Our second demo artist is by Catherine Hearding.  She showed us her techniques on painting water and reflections.

After the lunch break, we went outside for a fun and very informative plein air demo by Dan Weimer.  I've been in one of Dan's workshops and it amazes me how relaxed his style is but always come up with amazing art.

We're so inspired that we can't wait to get home and paint.  Kudos to the MNWS officers and volunteers!
