Tuesday's Paint Out at Gerstle Park

Three Watercolor Journal Painters showed up this week 

to paint in an older part of San Rafael.

It has a lovely park surrounded by old Victorian homes.

We all decided to do a home.

Two of us did this sweet yellow home.

Pat was braver than I was and did the entire image.

I like to complete my page on site so I 

did not attempt to capture the entire house.

Pat Dicker's page, the colorful trees add a lot, so much 

color added to a somewhat pale home.

My page.... I like to include the 5 elements I teach my 

groups... Image, Title, Text, Border and Date. This 

keeps my book fairly consistent and I know where I

have been and when I was there.

Loretta Armstrong captured this wonderful 

gingerbread eave decore on the white house.

I love how she added the back ground to pop

out the white and her shadows are great, too.

Before we went home, we took a photo of 

what we did on site. You can see how dramatic

a change the other two women made on their pages

at home. 

Pat is the newest member of the group.

She is an enthusiastic and fun addition to 

our Tuesday painters.
