Class Description: Painting the Water's Shimmer: 1/2-day Watercolor Workshop with Cedar Kindy
Class | Available
What is more mesmerizing than watching the light on water? This workshop will teach you how to create that effect. What you learn can be used in any medium, but watercolor lends itself to this subject matter. You are painting with water after all! You will learn basic transparent watercolor techniques, such as wet on wet, lifting out, dry brush, glazing, while using white gouache as a final highlight to enhance the sparkles. This particular harbor is incidental, so you can change the background silhouette if you choose. No worries if you can’t draw, as a copy of the boats are provided to transfer onto your painting. Great class for beginners, as techniques are taught step by step.
All Levels - ages 18 +
All supplies are included!
Cedar Kindy
Bio:
Janet ”Cedar” Kindy, a graduate of the American Academy of Art in Chicago, has been painting for over 40 years. She is passionate about watercolor and changing it’s bad rap about being a difficult medium. Using her teaching format, anyone can paint a successful watercolor…and have fun doing so.
Artist Statement:
I am an accidental watercolorist. I studied classical oil painting. Traveling extensively, I began to painting plein air in watercolor because of its portability. My first watercolors were horrible; hundreds of paintings later, while studying with Nita Engle, I finally developed a feel for the medium…and fell in love. Water, it’s primary element, makes watercolor a wild and emotional experience like no other type of painting.
