Watercolor Paintings from Landscape and Nature Studies

I started using watercolor when I took a landscape painting class. These are some of the paintings that I did while I was enrolled in that class back in 2001. Fortunately, I had spent years watching my mother paint with watercolor prior to taking the class, which was much more beneficial than the lousy five minute half-assed tutorials the professor gave. Maybe had she spent a fraction of the time she spent promoting her cafe during class time on improving her art, she wouldn't have been such a hack. Lol...seriously, class was like a commercial for the over-priced cafe that was located in the lobby of our school.
