Imaginary Trip to New Orleans - Wrought Iron



It's all over New Orleans, and it comes in the most interesting colors. I really liked this light fixture - and the finials on the fences. Just a few quick sketches to get the essence of it. Lots of fun!

And no, I'm not really in New Orleans - this is an Imaginary Trip with Laure Ferlita.

I saw your watercolors on the AFA weekly challenge, and I loved them. I left you a coment on the thread as well. Have a great day!

I have traveled with Laure to Paris and England so I know how much fun you are having. Wish I wasn't so busy now or I would have joined y'all.

Lovely job, Cheryl. Wrought iron is so interesting and fun to draw and paint, and you've captured it well here.

Dali Lobo - Yes, I've taken all of those classes and enjoyed every one. I've learned from each one as well. What I would suggest is to email Laure and ask her which class she recommends you take first. She is really good about answering that kind of question. Before I took my first class, I emailed her with the concern that I'd never done any watercolor painting and asked her advice. She looked at my blog and said she thought I could do the Autumn class - and that that was better for me to start with than the Paris class.

Between the two classes you mention, it would depend on your experience. I think if you've never done this type of thing before, the Foundations would be a great place to start because it's a beginner class. I don't think the Garden class will be very advanced either, but probably won't be quite as much of a beginner class as the foundations one.

Dali Lobo - I'm glad you got my reply - I wasn't sure since I didn't have your email address. I hope you enjoy the class and Laure!
