This was the first time that Saigon Art Retreats offered a 2-day workshop, and there were many advantages to adding that second day for our participants. The first day was spent learning and practicing the basic techniques associated with the watercolor medium, such as washes, blending, wet-on-wet technique and the illustrative use of outline pens. By the time we got to the second day, our participants had a variety of skills that they could apply to their own postcard compositions. Confidence can be translated in many ways, including through a painting. Each artist had just a little bit more confidence than when they started, and this allowed their own paintings to be more vibrant, expressive and representative of the artist's intentions. What a difference a day makes!
