Painting Classes on Board the Queen Mary 2

Among the lovely offerings during a transatlantic crossing on the Queen Mary 2 is an array of speakers and classes.  

I took advantage of 3 sessions with a skilled artist and teacher, George Burch. 
In each class, he walked us through basic information on watercolor paints, brushes, papers and techniques.  

In our final class, he set up this still life for us to paint.

One thing I like about still life painting is that you can choose whatever portion of the scene you'd like to paint.  I chose to paint the whole scene, but you could always leave out the wine glass or select just the fruit.

Why not give it a try? You can paint from this photo or set up your own still life!
