An Afternoon with Two Impasto Painters

Barry Kooser and Skye Mason

Demonstrations and Reception

Saturday, April 21, 2012

1:pm - 4:pm

Barry received a Fine Arts degree from Kansas City Art Institute. Barry swiftly moved into his professional career working full-time as a Background Artist at Walt Disney Feature Animation Studios in Orlando. "My work there, with such dedicated and talented artists, has given me an understanding of craftsmanship and helped me develop a passion for creating environments. This experience provided me the realization and the knowledge that technical understanding is a must — drawing, composition, value and color."

Kooser "Summer Light II" 30 x 30 oil

                                                                                                                                Skye Mason will show you five different stages of completion and demonstrate painting garden flowers. Skye's rich, thick impasto style is inviting and powerful. Her approach to the canvas has a romantic quality, layering the oils while utilizing dramatic colors to carefully display thick, visible strokes of the brush.  Discover her latest works presented at the gallery.
