Watercolor For REAL Beginners

This past week I taught a workshop called "Watercolor For REAL Beginners" for the Garrett County Arts Council.  The goal was to introduce people to the basics of watercolor.   We started with "this is watercolor paper", "this is paint" etc.   We then progressed to painting a color wheel  and  mixing color in shapes.
The second day was "paint along with Sue" day.   I painted then they painted, with the end result being a landscape of a farm in the area.   The third day they chose their own landscape to paint, executed a  value sketch, recreated the drawing on watercolor paper and painted the picture.   There were 6 ladies in the class, 4 of them had never painted at all.  
I was absolutely astounded at their paintings so I am posting all of them.
