For Jason’s class today, we focused on painting water in a small valley town called Umbertide. It was a twenty-minute drive from our home base. The topic today was composition and painting water. Jason started by showing us the stages of development of a painting he did the day before. In the photo, he is showing a couple preparatory drawings of his initial composition while gesturing toward the scene he painted. Sean, on the left, is holding the Jason’s final painting for comparison to his sketches. 
Next we started our own paintings. Here are Allison, Solla, Aprile and Amy (from right to left) painting the same scene as Jason. My painting was similar except that I did a vertical format instead of horizontal. 
This was a very scenic location; the only disadvantage of this spot was that there was no shade. Fortunately, I had my umbrella, but most of the others were not so lucky. But the temperature was with us as the temperature was in the mid 80’s temperature in the morning.

Around 11:45, we broke for lunch and went into the town piazza of Umbertide. After lunch we met for a critique. I included Jason commenting on the paintings as well as some of the paintings the other students did. Mine is the third from the left
