Celebrate OWLtober: Online Watercolor Painting with Ronna: The Barn Owl

*This is an online art class held on Zoom.

Birds are an excellent source of inspiration and a joy to paint in watercolor. Join this live, online class to paint alongside Ronna Fujisawa, an experienced watercolor painter, art educator, and bird enthusiast. You will learn about distinguishing marks and colors, using watercolor paint, basic drawing, and painting techniques to create beautiful bird watercolors. View supply list.

This class will focus on the mysterious Barn Owl. With subtle colors we will capture the beauty of this haunting bird of the night. With a unique brush technique, we will bring our inspiration of the Barn Owl to life with colors such as Burnt Sienna, Van Dyke Brown, Naples Yellow, and Cobalt Blue. With a minimal palette, this hunting bird hides in the cavities of the barn, with a few strokes of the brush, portrayed as a moody and dramatic painting. 

Students can paint along with Ronna during this live class or work at their own pace with access to the recording of the zoom lesson after the session.

Ronna Fujisawa

Ronna Fujisawa is watercolor painter and mixed media artist living in Portland, Oregon. She earned a BFA from Miami University, Oxford, OH and a MFA in Applied Craft and Design from Oregon College of Art and Craft, Portland, OR. As an independent artist and art educator, she offers a wide variety of classes both in-person and online. She teaches basic watercolor classes at her home studio in NW Portland, Plein Air landscape workshops, Bird Watercolor classes at The Bird Alliance of Oregon, as well as landscape watercolor classes for The Community Arts Program at Catlin Gabel.  She is also involved with other nature conservation organizations including Friends of Baltimore Woods and Audubon Society of Northern Virginia. Ronna’s work is rooted in a passion for the great outdoors.  She says "As an artist, I walk in the woods and paddle through lakes and streams in awe of the incredible natural beauty all around. I see colors and compositions for paintings in all the trees, the hills, distant mountains, the birds…. thinking in watercolor.  The natural world is my sanctuary and my inspiration!” 

For the last decade, Ronna has been dedicated to her creative and teaching practices. Her classes offer a supportive space for both beginners and intermediate students to learn basic watercolor techniques, color theory, and developing an individual style. Her professional guidance has compelled many to develop a passion for watercolor painting.
