Water towers are all over the coast of California. They were important early on to catch rainwater as well as for water storage. Some have been turned into extra rooms. They also become sheds with add-ons. I have painted many of them and, recently, used their simple shape for a lesson in my art class. The goal was to minimize brush strokes in a wet into wet format. We also wanted to leave lost edges in the painting. This was my demonstration done in the class.

After the Storm
I did this painting as a classroom demonstration with the objective of varying edges and painting puddles. It was done wet into wet and was somewhat difficult for me to get through in a time that would allow everyone to try the exercise. I have a very talented class that was up to this challenge. It was remarkable to see the results.
