Keiko Tanabe 2025 In Person Workshop
Keiko Tanabe – Keep it Simple and Strong
October 27-29, 2025 (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.

Skill Level: Intermediate
