Painting from your imagination

On Saturday afternoon I took a watercolor workshop at the Red Brick Gallery in Ventura.  The topic was painting landscapes from your imagination.  What I learned was how to paint wet-on-wet with a large flat brush and using a palette knife to scrap out color for whites.  My imagination had to work really hard to see these paintings.  It was a good class from me to learn how to paint more loose.  These vignettes were 4 small paintings on a 12 x 18 piece of Fabriano watercolor paper.  I probably did a total of 12 paintings with one large painting.
