March, viewed through Reiman Gardens windows (work in progress)

Here’s a work in progress from last week’s watercolor class. We were painting on location inside Reiman Gardens, with smells of spring and flowers blooming around us. Outside, there was melting snow and cardinals at the bird feeder. We worked with basic drawing techniques and overlapping shapes. Looking through these windows gives the scene a vertical dominance and a very stately quality, and some wonderful reflections for the observers to work with.
