"Luminous Landscapes"
with Kathleen Lanzoni
Let’s enjoy the watercolor painting process! The subject matter in this creative and fun two-day workshop is painting landscapes, using the amazing medium of watercolor. Together we will paint skies, mountains, and more elements to describe the landscape. We will work together, step by step, playing with our watercolor techniques to paint values, color and composition. Let’s enjoy the flow of the paint!
​
Kathleen is an award-winning artist with a passion for watercolor painting and life! Painting in the studio as well as Plein Air (outdoors on location), she immerses herself in the fluid and unpredictable qualities of watercolor paint to capture the brilliant light and colors of nature. Kathleen paints in a realistic painterly style, bringing the effect of changing light and color that describes the atmosphere, context, and feeling of the scene to the paper.
Kathleen’s artwork has been published in international and national magazines including American Watercolor Magazine, Plein Air Magazine, Fine Art Connoisseur, Southwest Art and Practique des Arts.
Kathleen teaches classes both online and in person, in Europe workshops and in Colorado. Kathleen was formally trained at the Art Institute of Boston and at the Massachusetts College of Art, graduating from both schools with a BFA.
