One of the most basic foundations of composition is the Rule of Thirds. Although many people are familiar with this technique it is often forgotten in the haste to take a photo. Even so, it can make an average picture into something which has tension and dynamism.In this meetup we will practice using the Rule of Thirds in a street-setting full of photographic possibility.

I had a great time at Elena's watercolor class! Elena is such a talented artist, and she does a great job explaining techniques for a total beginner like me. I goofed up my blueberries, but Elena inspired me to re-paint them once I got home. I've loved the subject matter so far, and it'd be great to continue with flowers, more landscapes, or more gifty-type ideas.

Title or Location: The Marshes
This 9x12 watercolor is a depiction of wetlands typical of Georgia at sunset. It's painted in a loose and expressive style. A central blue waterway snakes through the dense green reeds of the foreground marsh, reflecting the golden light of the sky with gray clouds and a distant line of green trees in the background giving it depth and perspective.
