Autumn Dunes: 1/2-day Watercolor Workshop with Cedar Kindy
Class | Available
Exploring a dune landscape provides great opportunities to practice watercolor techniques. This study is a quintessential transparent watercolor where the white of the paper is left alone. Controlled light washes and straw painting suggest the delicate shadows of the dune grass. The dark green and orange shapes simply suggest the dune grass and fall foliage. Control and simplicity are the challenges of this workshop.
All supplies are included.
All levels welcome, age 16+.

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.
