Next 2025 Workshop

Keiko Tanabe - Keep it Simple and Strong - In Person
October 27-29 (3 Days), 9 AM – 4 PM PST
Intermediate (Some experience with watercolor is recommended)

My work is impressionistic. I like to represent people or places and allow the painting to evolve from the structure of what is recognizable. The challenge is to balance the care needed to make the representation interesting… and perhaps believable, with the freedom, looseness and painterly quality that makes painting so unique and expressive.

Newly Added 2025 Zoom Workshop!

Keiko Tanabe - Unlock Your Impressionistic Voice - Zoom
November 10-12 (3 Days), 9 AM – 4 PM PST
Intermediate (previous experience is strongly recommended)

Explore painting of people and places with both structure and freedom. Keiko will share her thoughts and tips with the Zoom audience, guiding you to balance careful observation with expressive, loose brushwork and build strong compositions that support your painting's story and bring it to life.
