June 16-18, 2025 (3 Days), 9 AM – 4 PM PST
*Recording of the entire workshop will be available for 30 days
All Levels Welcome. Some Experience with Watercolor Recommended.

Why we paint is far more important than what or how we paint. My work is a study in contrasts: light and dark, vertical and horizontal, warm and cool, the real and the imagined, and elements of the past, present, and future. I love to design with conflicting elements - allowing them to find balance and resolution on the surface of the paper in surprising and expressive ways. And I try never to paint just what I look at, but rather how it is I see. Painting for me is less about the result and more about becoming fully present in the process. I learn by better listening to my own creative voice. And I invite you to take part in this process - not to listen to any narrative of mine, but to help you to find and develop the artistic voice that is yours alone.

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.
