Pear-ology

I am taking a workshop from Martha Lever Of Red Door Art Studio called Pear-ology.
 It is all about painting with glazes in watercolor.
 The subject is, of course, pears, and the techniques she teaches are wonderful. 
I love her cute southern manner and her straightforward teaching style.
 I feel really excited to learn some techniques for watercolors. 
I have always, always been drawn to them, and it is exciting to finally be unlocking some of their secrets!
Here are my beginnings:


I still need quite a bit of practice, and I am slowly building up my supplies of paints and I just ordered a new palette from Cheap Joes!



This one is round so you can set it up like a color wheel. It helps visually with mixing colors. Since I am so visual and I can never remember the rules of color mixing I thought, this is the palette for me!
