SUMMARY:ONLINE: WATERCOLOR WITH BARRY VAN DUSEN
DESCRIPTION:Learn from award-winning and internationally renowned wildlife artist Barry van Dusen in a workshop focusing on the use of washes and color at the Wendell Gilley Museum on Saturday\, April 29\, from 1:30 to 4 p.m. \n\n \n\nThis class happens online\, but with a twist. The artist will be on the big screen at the Gilley and you can choose to paint in person at the museum with other students\, or take the class online from home. All students will get a copy of a drawing of an American robin by the artist\, and then will work with him in real time to apply color. The drawing and a materials list will be provided upon registration. The fee is $30 for museum members and $40 for non-members. Register at www.wendellgilleymuseum.org/calendar\n\n \n\nMr. van Dusen is an internationally respected wildlife artist whose career has taken him all over the world. His work is frequently chosen for Birds in Art\, the Leigh Yawkey Woodson Art Museum's prestigious annual juried art show\; in 2014 he was chosen by that museum as a Master Wildlife Artist. He is a full member of London's Society of Wildlife Artists\, and his work is regularly exhibited worldwide. His articles and paintings have been featured in Bird Watcher's Digest\, Birding\, and Yankee magazines\, and he has illustrated a variety of natural history books and pocket guides in association with the Massachusetts Audubon Society.\n\n \n\nCombining a lifelong interest in nature with a formal art education\, he has developed a style that acknowledges the importance of science and biology while maintaining the primacy of artistic expression. His paintings have been described as a unique blend of impressionism and realism\, and his exhibition paintings always arise from direct personal experience. Built upon a foundation of fieldwork and strong draftsmanship\, they are carefully planned but freely executed in a direct and painterly manner.  \n\n \n\nIn 2020 he was one of two artists to provide illustrations for the book "Birds of Maine\," the first comprehensive overview of Maine's avian inhabitants in more than seven decades. For another book published in 2020\, "Finding Sanctuary: An Artist Explores the Nature of Mass Audubon\," he provided all the text as well as the illustrations\, based on his visits to all 60 Mass Audubon sites over more than four years.
