Class Description: Northern Lights: 1/2-day Watercolor Workshop with Cedar Kindy
Class | Available
The Northern Lights have been happening a lot this past year! A perfect subject and a fun way to learn wet-on-wet watercolor technique! Using Nita Engle’s very intuitive approach to ‘letting the watercolor paint itself” we will create several small and large backgrounds with this technique. Lifting out to create the night sky striations, splattering white gouache for the stars and ta-da, the background is complete. The painting is finished with a foreground silhouette of trees or any silhouette you choose whether it be of a lighthouse, a wolf, a human, or even a spaceship: various silhouettes to trace will be provided. Make it your own.
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.
