Where does the time go? Again, I apologize for the time between blog posts but somehow, time just gets away! As kids, we'd used to complain that we were bored or had nothing to do and the day would just drag by. My grandmother always used to say 'just wait til you get older!' My grandmother was a very wise woman!
Anyway, the demo/paint-along of the chickadee went really well and the class actually finished in an hour instead of the two we thought it would take. Here is a photo of the event and, as you can see, the participants were lively, fun and very good for first time painters! Oh, that's me in the back row next to the gentleman in the light blue shirt.

All of the participants were great sports and all said they'd had a good time. Since we had some time leftover, I was asked to demonstrate how to make a tree with some leaves. We were using cheap Canson watercolor paper and really cheap gouache but those who painted the tree still did really well.
Even though I was very nervous and sort of scared, the COA still asked me if I would do another demo and/or paint-along in the future. I wasn't sure but think it would be fun now that I know the ropes a bit better!

They do looks like good sports and obviously they enjoyed their painting. I'm pleased you are considering doing more as it certainly will become easier the more you do when you get a better feel for the abilites of the group and how quickly they pick things up.
Congratulations!
Thanks for the vote of confidence but I wonder if you ever get comfortable being in front of a group like that. There were several other ladies in the class who didn't want their photo taken so there was quite a group there!
