Kaki has been creating art for forty years and has taught workshops and operated 4 art galleries. A teacher with a life license, she applies many basic learning principles to her workshops, enthusiastically meeting each student at the appropriate level. Beginners are always welcome, but even advanced artists benefit from Kaki's instruction. Offering demonstrations of techniques and the characteristics of different types of medias, papers, and other related materials, Kristy covers a wide range of possibilities.
Kaki Bassi's teaching style encourages experimentation and self-discovery in a supportive environment that nourishes the intuitive power of self-expression. Her watercolors are rich in color, lushly saturated and sensual in form, and have been described as 'cosmic, flowing and full of light." She is an exhibiting artist with forty years of experience in creating visionary art classes. Class demonstration and discussion include wetting the paper, color flooding and gradation, brushwork, compositional energy, atmospheric effects, edge tinting, textual elegance and the use of watercolor crayon. Wet-into-wet techniques are emphasized. Whether moving in a realistic or abstract direction, class methods for exploring the poetic spontaneity of watercolor will be appreciated.
