�My painting subjects are varied equally that is my nature. I will probably be perpetually in some period of transition with my art which, I promise, is a skillful thing. I try to work towards a melding of classical, contemporary and my ain style; always striving to share with the viewer a means of expression which is representational without being literal or prosaic. I used to worry where was I going with my art? Was I a colorist, tonalist, impressionist, plein air or studio painter? I at present know my art leads me. Each slice is individual and dictates how it should be painted. Beginning comes what I experience, then what I see. When I pigment it is me and information technology is my own. An thought for painting often comes from my emotional response to color and low-cal. I build around that, oftentimes irresolute the subject field affair partly or entirely until the colour, calorie-free, movement and design see to fit the mood. This fashion of creating a painting works well for the studio, which I very much relish, all the same, painting en plein air (outdoors in one sitting) is a good mode to rejuvenate the very feelings that create the moods.

Sunny Sorensen
From tardily spring until the end of summertime, Sunny Sorensen lives in a cabin in the Hwy 4 corridor and paints. She sometimes holds plein air painting boot camps, and now has a summer weekly group in life drawing at Atelier Copper. Her paintings are in several private collections. Her work has won awards and prizes, which she says are blimp in a drawer somewhere in her studio. Nearly every two years she takes a pastel or oil workshop from a hotshot painter for which she pays a ton of money. At the ragged edge of fall, she flees to Mexico, where she sits in the sun, listens to ranchero music, drinks margaritas, and paints. Hither is her story:
I was built-in and raised in the SF Bay Area¸ liked to draw as a kid, had no encouragement, was taught how to letter, along with making biscuits, in the ninth grade, nearly failed typing in the tenth class, got a D in faith, and was told I'd make a skilful homemaker. Years subsequently, subsequently abandoning the homemaker chore (I was a full failure), I graduated with honors in mud and paint from UC Davis—a degree that came with all the breadth requirements. At some point in the mismanagement of my educational career, I wrote my style into a summertime scholarship to study art history at the University of Edinburgh, Scotland. I stayed 2 years in Scotland, and with not much discipline, trotted through, and somewhat absorbed, the contents of the bully museums and galleries of Europe. When I came back to California, I rode the art train correct off the rail into 25 years of can-cupping, glad-handing, writing and schlepping a bunch of Sierra Guild waffle stompers through the High Sierra with a packs on our backs—the human action of backpacking itself being used for stress relief.
All that ended at the millennium with forced retirement and me with an injured right paw. There was nil left to do, merely stick out the good thumb, and hop back on the railroad train. That's the fashion information technology happened.
What is important to me, is the procedure of making fine art. I've been messing around with pigments for six years since retirement. Most of what I learned in another life time has come dorsum, yet I don't similar to telephone call myself an "artist," equally I cannot compare my attempts to the neat artists of history. You know who they are, or should, from Michelangelo and Rembrandt to Sorolla and Sargent… As well I have trouble equating myself with more contemporary masterful artists I happen to similar: Payne, Dixon, Schmid, Rauschenberg and Diebenkorn. So what I am is a painter, steeped in enough figurative, pop art, and three dimensional brainwashing to exist dangerous, seduced by the idea of painting landscapes, and in the sunset of my life, obsessed with how to get information technology down right (non equally in detailed or tight every bit Richard Schmid cautions confronting), before I'thou back in diapers and parked on the porch of an old folks abode.
I firmly believe, seeing (which many of us tend to practise poorly) is the nitty-gritty of creating. Anyone tin larn the technique of cartoon, even painting--the art world is total of "copyists." Merely spending a hunk of full-bodied time, arresting a scene or class can move the painter beyond technique, into a realm of visualization, and intimate understanding and feeling for a subject. That's what I'm after. To this stop, I tend to not like painting from photos (though oft I do it as punishment), which take done all the difficult work for me through a ane-eyed, pancaked lens. I just don't get the aforementioned thrill from a static photo as I do from studying the nature of a struggling krumholtzed tree, the movement of a model, or a streak of light turning specks of snow into opals. Perhaps I'd feel better about the camera if it captured scenes as I recall seeing and feeling them. Or at least played the kind of music I similar when the lens popped open.
More often than not how I work is to cake in value shapes and use notan to create compositions. I deport a sketch book and try very difficult to put something in it each day. Occasionally, I find it very satisfying to whip up a color strewn mess then try to figure out how to paint myself out of information technology. Peradventure it'southward the bearish politics of our culture pushing this, or merely my spotty upbringing. I don't know.

Ellie Stone
Ellie Stone lives in Valley Springs and has taught several photography classes at Galerie Copper. The post-obit is a from a recent interview with the artist.
Now, I expect forward to instruction and inspiring others to learn more nearly what information technology takes to capture fantastic images. This year I volition commence on that journey, and as I teach, surely my own cognition volition continue to grow.
My high school graduation gift was a overnice Canon 35mm camera, a couple of lenses, and camera pocketbook. And so my father was the goad for my first job, at what else--a photo lab! At the lab I not only processed the traditional C41 color film, merely I also did darkroom work, and portraits. Since my employment at the lab spanned 12 years, I was witness to the digital age and its effects on the world of photography.

Combining a lifelong fascination with color, photography, and design, Carolyn has explored several media in her 30 years as an creative person. Her early art studies were at Lewis and Clark Higher in Portland, Oregon, where she obtained an art teaching credential so that she could share her fascination with college students. She taught design principles, calligraphy, and painting at a small junior college in Longview, Washington. She exhibited widely around the land in her primary medium at that fourth dimension, a combination of oil and collage used to create abstruse mural, and garnered a number of regional fine art prove awards. While in Washington, Carolyn was agile in arts organizations and was elected to the Washington State Arts Advancement Committee in 1976. For seven years she directed the second largest regional art show in the state, the Southwest Washington Arts Festival. Her philosophy has been that volunteering in the arts, rubbing elbows with artists and people who love art, keeps an creative person's perspective fresh and challenged. While spending two colorful years in Venezuela, she discovered she was allergic to oil paints, and made a difficult only necessary switch to watercolor. Ane last successful oil painting fine art show in Puerto Ordaz bought her a ticket back abode to the States where she studied watercolor with Bill Colby, a well know Tacoma artist. Seeking a sunnier climates than Washington after her hiatus in the tropics, she moved to California in 1980 where she became an active member of the San Mateo Arts Council. Simply living in the stressful environment of the Bay Expanse caused her to feel her art career was "on hold". She had a full-time job every bit Executive Director of the Bay Area Camp Fire Council for fives years, which left little time for art development. And then, like many couples seeking a quieter life and the "romance of the Sierra", she and her married man, Richard, moved to Arnold in 1988. Upon arriving in the foothills and finding that the Arts Council here was somewhat floundering, she became involved again equally a volunteer. She served every bit the council's president for two years and was ane of the original founders of the Art-Op Gallery in Murphys. Currently, Carolyn'south watercolors and photography reflect her environment—Motherlode thunder clouds, golden hills, brightly colored birds and flowers interpreted representationally though wet, transparent watercolors and sharp focus photographs, with an occasional abstruse impression thrown in for multifariousness. Her pouring technique, used for the background of everything from koi fish, portraits, skies, to florals, has become the signature for her fashion. Carolyn's watercolor floral of irises is published in the book How Did You Paint That? She has won numerous commencement identify awards at juried art shows in Northern California.

Ken McBride
Ken's interest in painting began in his youth, just information technology did not develop. Things changed when he and his wife returned from a career of teaching overseas in 1999. "We had enjoyed spectacular scenery in Europe and North Africa, and I had tried to capture it from time to fourth dimension with watercolors—with lilliputian success. After moving to Oakdale, close to both the Sierras and the Pacific, I was over again inspired to paint," Ken said. "Thanks to community college classes, art workshops and publications, I have grown in my skills. Peculiarly influential in the process has been Dan Peterson (Modesto) and Tom Herbert (Phoenix). Art demonstrations (online and on DVD) and a critique group in Sonora, CA accept too been helpful." Ken said that the creation of a painting might begin as he is struck by the drama of an Arizona thunderstorm, the subtle oranges of a Large Sur sunset, or by some battered Model T. "While at the scene, I note the elements and impressions I would like to retain past taking photos and/or making sketches. Most of my work is and so done in my small lawn studio. "One process of watermedia I bask is that of making a monoprint, i.e., pressing a hard-surfaced paper onto randomly arranged colors. I use diverse techniques that oftentimes produce dramatic random shapes with beautiful colors. Then, past add-on and subtraction of line and colour, I develop a composition--based on what I see before me." Ken's other arroyo to watercolors is more than traditional—using Arches 140 and 300 cold-pressed paper with mostly Daniel Smith and Winston & Newton watercolors. "I especially enjoy painting wet-in-wet assuasive the colors to mix on the paper. The results and textures can exist very satisfying – including those unforeseen happy accidents."

"I paint chop-chop with loose, bold strokes and bask using lots of paint loaded with stand oil for thick, luscious passages. I relish the contrasts that evolve in my piece of work."

My listen is not trying to brand this beginning look like something in particular, it is just registering shapes on canvas with my paintbrush. I can, many times, go pretty far into a painting before temptation hits, and I must plough the canvas right side up to encounter how my work is progressing.
