Plein Air Oil Painting Demonstration with Thomas Bradshaw

October 21

5:00-6:15

Join us for a demonstration by Artist in Residence, Thomas Bradshaw. Winner of the 2021 GAF Artists’ Choice Award, Thomas will share oil painting techniques.

Bradshaw’s loose painterly style allows him to imply detail without overstating it. His brushwork and use of a palette knife creates a textural impression which draws the viewer in for a closer look. With a limited palette, Bradshaw brings to life the way in which a shimmering light will illuminate the scene as a single moment in time.

This event will take place at Arts on Main in the main gallery and is free and open to the public.

Plein Air Still Life Demonstration

As part of our continuing Artists in Residence program, we are pleased to offer a Plein Air Still Life demonstration by Andrée Tullier and Nancy McCarra during their residence in October.

Coming from the Impressionist tradition of painting, Andrée and Nancy  have studied with many of the same artists and continue to fill their paintings with light and color. They will be doing a demo of an outdoor still life-painting side by side but each expressing their own individual style of how they start a painting,how they see color and their individual thought processes as they paint. Questions are welcomed as they work.

Free & open to the public
