Kathleen Alexander paints from photos she has taken in Hawaii and California, sometimes combining many photos to create her composition. Currently, her focus is capturing the grace and beauty of tropical flowers and still life, with the goal of making her paintings look alive. Kathleen is a signature member of the Northwest Watercolor Society and Watercolor West. She teaches and paints in both Hawaii and California, exhibits nationally, and is represented by Village Galleries in Maui and Hana Coast Gallery in Hawaii. She was featured in the April 2010 issue of Watercolor Artist magazine.

Join Kathleen to learn how to paint exotic tropical flowers and foliage in realistic watercolor. Realism, detail, luminous color... if these are some of the qualities that you want in your paintings, then this is the workshop for you. By underpainting and glazing, Kathleen will show you how to create smooth transitions in petals, and flowers that glow with an inner radiance. Kathleen will cover how to choose good painting subjects, as well as the importance of light and composition. Each day will include a discussion/lecture/demo, painting assignments and critiques in which the students are encouraged through positive suggestions for improvement.

CWA members $395 and non-CWA $450.
