Welcome, Sarah B. Hansen!

During the Nov. event, Sarah’s focus will be on your best use of a limited palette within your painting. Capable of creating instant harmony, a limited palette can provide unity and focus to artwork. With Sarah’s help and conversation, artists will better understand choosing the “right” colors for their palette, and in doing so, create glowing neutrals, secondaries, and tertiary colors for a powerful painting.

Sarah B. Hansen is an award-winning NWWS signature member artist and art instructor, creating works in watercolor, gouache, and acrylic. She resides in Central Oregon, painting from her home studio near Bend. She teaches online and in-person, often conducting workshops regionally and internationally. Initially a watercolor portrait artist, Sarah is now known for her energetic landscape art, focusing on expression and movement within each piece and is a sought-after art instructor, using her skills as both an artist and an insightful mentor to find each student’s best expression in their art.

IMPORTANT: We are implementing a new painting submission system, and NWWS members may submit up to two paintings. Please read these easy instructions:
