Beach Path: 1/2-day Watercolor Workshop with Cedar Kindy
Class | Available
Several techniques will be learned in this start-to-finish watercolor workshop: variegated washes, wet-on-wet, and dry brush. We’ll explore high-key light and shadows, test out different brushes, and learn to leave white areas exposed to create shimmer effects. This is a great class for beginners, because there is little drawing involved. Experienced painters will be challenged to keep it simple and clean.
All supplies are included.
All levels welcome, age 16+.
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.
