Course Fee: Non-Members $200 Members $180
Instructor: Kristen Dahms
We welcome back Kristen Dahms, an award winning artist and instructor, who has recently moved back to Williamsburg.
In this class, you will explore ideas that inspire you and then learn how to utilize specific techniques to bring your ideas to life. You will use water-based media, such as watercolor, ink, coffee, patterned paper, colored pencils, ink transfers, markers, acrylic paint and soft pastels in various combinations.
You will experiment with different ways to use these materials to develop vibrant texture in your paintings, and start painting with a foundational stain before building layers of images and patterns with watercolor, ink, and paper. You will also learn how to emphasize composition while building up multiple layers for a unified piece of art.
Open to all skill levels.

Cooperstown Art Association
“The Expression of Nature” by Kristen Dahms of Ballston Lake, NY will be exhibited in Gallery B.
Kristen’s colorful paintings explore the beauty and complexity of nature. She states, “Nature and animals are the foundation of my paintings. They offer endless inspiration and subjects for my brush. The art focuses on exploration in color, texture, and pattern. I experiment with different materials, applications, and colors to express a feeling or mood. Painting for me is about finding those complex layers of life and form found in the natural world and expressing them in my own way.”
