Mystical Forest: Watercolor Workshop with Cedar Kindy
Class | Available
Have you ever wanted to paint the mystical light of the forest? This one-day workshop does just that, using Nita Engle’s special watercolor techniques. These include masking, wet-on-wet, throwing paint, floating color, spraying, and flooding. While this approach is intuitive, the second layer of painting is more thought-out and controlled. The painting will remain abstract, but for a hint of trees and a deer or heron. No experience is necessary. Experienced painters will learn to loosen up their approach. Bring a smock!
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.
