Crystal Lake Birches: Watercolor Workshop with Cedar Kindy
Class | Available
Crystal Lake is as blue and clear as the Caribbean, but with birch trees growing along the shoreline! In this workshop, we will explore landscape watercolor techniques, including masking the birch trees and adding a layer of pastel to create the lighter foliage, the white of the birch trees, and small accents on the lake. This relaxed-paced class is great for beginners as the pastels can cover mistakes and allow us to make changes.
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.
