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.
