An award-winning artist, Janet Pedersen exhibits her work widely. Recently, several of her dance-themed paintings were chosen to be part of the State Department’s ‘Art in Embassies’ program, celebrating the universal joy and borderless beauty of dance. The exhibition will be on loan for three years at the Residency of the U.S. Ambassador to Poland, Mark Brzekinski. She teaches ongoing adult workshops through The Art Annex in Park Slope, Brooklyn, as well as private tutoring. She lives in the neighborhood of Park Slope in Brooklyn, NY, next to Prospect Park where she can often be found painting.
Both of these were awesome! I noticed that you were using a staywet box with your gouache. Are you using the paper and the sponge? I haven’t used it with my gouache but it is an interesting idea!
So enjoyed this demo and listening to Janet guiding us through her thought process. I hope to watch again and paint along with Janet as I can see how doing would be so beneficial to grasping these concepts… Thank you Janet!
