Class Description: Dune Shadows: 1/2-day Watercolor Workshop with Cedar Kindy
Class | Available
This is a great class for beginners because there is a little drawing involved, other than some intersecting lines. Several watercolor techniques will be learned: variegated washes, wet on wet and dry brush. The dunes are high keyed, so the focus will be to paint their shadows in light washes of subtle blue and purple grays. The sky is painted wet on wet. The grasses are painted with a fan brush or a dry brush. Experienced painters will learn to paint high keyed and to not overwork the painting.
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.
