Storm - demo painting from a workshop with the Hawaii Watercolor Society

A super fun weekend painting with 15 members of the Hawaii Watercolor Society via Zoom. Our theme was "Atmospheric Landscapes" and I chose 2 scenes - a storm with a lovely stone and wooden barn, and a sunset at The Church of the Good Shepherd in Tekapo.
