John Hewitt demonstrated as the class painted along. Verna Pooler, wearing a white hat painting along with the watercolor demonstration.
Rob Decker encouraged a couple of Brookings' artists to attend John Hewitt's free watercolor class in Yosemite National Park, California. Rob Decker and Verna Pooler drove down from Brookings, Oregon and attended every day. I drove from Sacramento and attended the Saturday workshop.
What a treat to plein air paint in the Yosemite valley with a large group of artists from all over.
The weather could not have been any better for October.

It just shows you how far a plein air artist will travel for a free class and an opportunity to paint with kindred spirits.
