Karen Pinard

My studio/gallery is located at 870 Main Street, Osterville  in The Red Barn- ‘Studio off Main, thru the Garden Gate’ with a side garden courtyard entrance.

I enjoy working with fine paper using acrylic, watercolor, or creating monotypes. On an abstract journey, my work would be described as impressionistic, or expressionist using flora, fauna and landscape as my inspiration. Moving forward and experimenting with new materials and combinations is ingrained in me – and I try to challenge my watercolor students to be open and expand to new ideas.

Teaching watercolor is my passion….and am fortunate to be a part of the Cape Cod Center and Sandwich Art Alliance faculty. My goal us to inspire and encourage those taking my classes/workshops to enjoy the process and creativity….not for a product to be judged, but the pure joy of creating and self-expression. I teach the fundamentals of watercolor – methods, materials, tools, techniques – which is especially integral to success with the medium.
