About this Event
The seasonal change is around the corner - Autumn Color Bliss! Join in on a watercolor workshop under the guidance of Saswatee Chatterjee, and create your own wreath painting.
Imagine a paint palette with the gorgeous fall colors in the spectrum and create a wreath that tells the story of fall: a painting silently singing the glory of the acorns, the mushrooms, the berries and the never ending beauty of fall leaves.
“Autumn is a second spring when every leaf is a flower.” - Albert Camus
A Few Key Concepts You Will Learn:
- Glazing: to build up color intensity, depth and luminosity and glow which is the characteristic watercolor painting.
- Wet-on-wet technique: allows color to bleed and blend naturally for soft and diffused edges for a seamless transition.
Artist Biography:
Hello! I'm Saswatee Saikia Chatterjee, an artist based in the San Francisco Bay Area, California specializing in watercolor, oil, graphite and mixed media to create inspiring paintings - both realistic and imaginary. I have been practicing art for 20+ years and also enjoy teaching the creative community. My artwork has been represented at both international and local art galleries and exhibitions.
I’ve always been fascinated by nature and story books since I was little. Often, I would delve into my imagination, thinking about subjects with my own creativity and colors. Art has been a constant source of passion and inspiration to me and I believe that art empowers our creativity and propels growth in all spheres of life.
From being born and raised in the midst of the mountains and greenery of Assam, India to continuously being inspired by my parents who are exceptionally ardent creative people in the field of art and literature, my creative imagination is thus a conglomeration of such upbringing and experiences. Currently, I live with my husband and two kids in the beautiful state of California, and love to spend my free time enjoying the outdoors, gardening, hiking and listening to music.
I get my greatest inspiration from nature and its scenic beauty and life. My artistic expressions are a celebration of life and hope. Generally, I work with various mediums with a focus on watercolor and oil/acrylic painting. I enjoy being able to contribute and enhance reality in its simple expressions and imaginative interpretations.
