Exploring Watercolour


I started taking watercolour classes with my wife at the Jewish Community Center in Ottawa in October 2024. Our classes are led by Janet Agulnik, a very good watercolour artist and an excellent teacher. Never having painted before I always wondered what it would be like to paint. After taking the first few baby steps I can tell its going to be a long journey but in the end hopefully a satisfying one.
