Tuesday's subject matter was at the harbor on Mecanic Street in Rockland.
Watercolor beginnings with David Dewey's demo.
The sky is a pale wash of yellow ochre.
Painting upside down.
David says, "The painting is on your palette first and foremost". 
Sometimes the painting is on David's leg.
The finished painting (a partial view) - very economical - a process of elimination. Some boats moved out.
Post demonstration = LUNCH TIME!Crab sandwiches at Chester's ($5.25)
Then we buckle down to painting until 3:30 - crit time.
Madelyn Boucher's abstracted unfinished, but finished house painting.
Shirley Cook's fluid, 'thumbnail' preparatory painting on a postcard.
Shirley's painting setup includes an umbrella. It's hot here but there's a nice breeze coming in from the harbor.
Mike Mechlenburg's complex colorful view of the ship yards.
You can paint whatever you want as long as you paint! Pam Wilburn's ambitious big watercolor.
Watercolor artist, Christy Gallagher assists David.
I took shots of the boats moving out and then painted from photos on my camera.
A million 'thumbnails' - preparatory setups or in my case 'procrastination paintings' before tackling a sheet of big paper.
The 'big one' - not enough color in my opinion.

Post painting = DINNER TIME!
SueB commented yesterday that we should go for lobster rolls at Graffam Bros. at 211 Union street in Rockport.
WE DID! They were super delish and fresh - Graffam's fish market is across the street (next to Rockport's post office). 
Tuesday night David had his annual 'Dessert Party'
BONJOUR DAY 2 at the WATERCOLOR WORKSHOP!
