During these hands-on classes, you will have the opportunity to experiment with a variety of both conventional and unconventional tools, techniques, and materials while exploring the basic elements of works of art.
Kay has been watercolor painting for 17 years, and teaching watercolor classes for the past 5 years. She has art and education as undergrad majors and studied watercolor painting with nationally known watercolor artists Frankie Wheeler, Sterling Edwards, Ann Painter, and Don Marek. She has had work accepted into juried Art shows and received awards, as well as having done commissioned pieces. Her work is available at the Art on the Town Gallery in Pentwater, MI.
Kay says, "I feel strongly that students who are interested in Art, and particularly in watercolor need to be exposed to the variety of materials and techniques available, and then have the opportunity to explore and decide for themselves what kind of result they wish to produce. Many Art teachers present students with a very narrow, mainly personal viewpoint with the expectation that the students' work will look like that of the teacher. My goal is for students to be confident in their ability and vision to explore on their own and create independently."
