Clouds class

I'm going to chop these up so best to make a record of them before they go to the chopper. I had clouds class today with K, P, & S at a place. The teacher was very skilled in the watercolor and she was sooooo patient and spent time will all 20 of us. The class was too big. Should have been 10 people. Maybe they'll send and eval and if they don't I might send a nice email to the teaching coordinator. The place where the class was held was gorgeous and I had time to wander the acreage after the class with K. 

Yes, I learned. I learned use lots of water. Use lots of pigment. Make sure your pigment is mixed so you don't have raw paint on your paper. Paper matters. Patience matters. 

None of my cloud paintings look like clouds. They look like mountains. They look like ski slope. They look like dust storms in Texas. I guess it's a good thing I don't aspire to realism (that's my excuse) and I'll keep working on the techniques that were shown during class to be able to manipulate water and pigment with more control. 

I'm not thrilled with these but maybe I will be later. Like when they are chopped up and re-done some other way. What is wrong with me? It really is lack of patience. I think also because I was locked up in a room where the shades were pulled and it was the first sunny day after a week of overcast skies and snow every morning and there was lots of waiting time I was not feeling creative (or patient). These bottom two do NOT look like clouds At All. The top one looks alien and I like the high chroma.
