Lighten Up: Exploring Light and Color with Wendy Olin

Cape Cod’s extraordinary light has seduced and mesmerized artists and naturalists for generations. This workshop will emphasize bringing the Cape’s exceptional light into your paintings. Watercolor techniques—including lifting paint, the use of washes and overlays of color, and wet on wet painting—will be employed to aid in this process. Color mixing and discussions on color theory will also be cornerstones of the workshop. Class time will be spent in Wendy’s light-filled studio and around her grounds. Acrylics may also be used. Beginners welcome.

This workshop will be offered out of the artist’s studio in Brewster in August, and at the Museum School at PAAM in September. Directions to the Brewster studio will be supplied upon registration.
