Lady Bird Wildflower Center Watercolor Class with artist Sue Kemp

 

I attended the Lady Bird Johnson Wildflower Center "Go Native U" workshop that UT Informal Classes offered today. Taught by Austin artist and Waterloo Watercolor Group member Sue Kemp. Sue had her wonderful painting of bluebonnets selected several years ago as the logo for that year for the Wildflower Center - it is hanging in the gift shop at the Wildflower Center on the wall behind the counter. 
Here are my three paintings of the wildflowers Indian blanket, white poppy, and our state flower, the Texas bluebonnet. Sue is a great teacher, helped us achieve very subtle and realistic effects to capture wildflowers.
The Wildflower Center is magnificent right now - go down soon before it gets too hot and check it out. They have new walking trails there too.
