Class Description: Fall on the Betsie: Full Day Watercolor Workshop with Cedar Kindy
Class | Available
This is a good class to explore several mediums. Primarily a watercolor class, the background will be painted with traditional watercolor techniques such as wet-on-wet, dry brush, lifting out, glazing, and salt. Then learn how to create more depth, deepen color transitions, accent the water, tree trunks, and foliage by overlaying pastels and gouache on top of the watercolor background. All taught in step-by-step demonstrations that are easy to follow. I painted this on location in September, mesmerized by the movement of the current and reflections in the water. Join me and enjoy a day creating the river!
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.
