‘FROM THE OVERLOOK’
Watercolor
14″x10″
I started this painting on location and finished it in my studio on a rainy morning.
This scene is one of my favorite places on the coast. I walk here to get my fix of waves and water!
About Vinita
I’m a full time artist and a part time beachcomber living on the Oregon Coast. I’m mostly known for my water media paintings but I love all things creative!
I feel very honored to have my artwork hanging on the walls of friends and collectors throughout the world.
Take a Class!
As an art instructor, I teach exactly how I would want to be taught – in a way that encourages folks to create with more freedom, boldness, and simplicity.
There is nothing quite like the feeling of helping someone express their own creativity.

Living a creative life…
My favorite part of being an artist is having the opportunity to explore new ideas and new methods of expression. I see each artwork as a journey of discovery. Although I’m best known for my paintings in watercolor, I also work in gouache, ink, acrylic, and mixed media.

Happy Students
What a great value the Plein Air Painting Workshop was for me as a beginning watercolor painter. Vinita’s well organized 3-week online course was offered in a logical, systematic fashion that allowed students to develop basic understanding and skills through video talks, exercises, and homework. She offers just the right balance of information and encouragement to develop the very best outcome for students. Thanks again, Vinita!
-LarryI have been an online student of Vinita’s for several years. Have also attended some of her plein air workshops in oregon. Before I started with her I had taken drawing classes and a few watercolor classes, but never felt like an artist. I just jumped right in there with her classes. Have loved every minute of it and finally feel like I am progressing as an “artist” Thank you, Vinita, you are the best.
