Join us for Susan Drennan’s painting demo Saturday, October 15 at 2PM. Susan will explain her process and share the importance of contrast during this demo focusing on oil painting and landscapes.
With her love of color and use of light and shadow, she portrays landscapes, portraits, and close-up depictions of the natural world in an impressionistic or realistic way. Each of these subjects inspire her for their beauty and significance of light and shadow.
Every time she paints she says, “Paint large shapes first, then start on your focal point, and, what is the value?”

She has been working with watercolor and oil paints for almost two decades, expressing a love for the landscape of her home and abroad. This reverence for her surroundings brings her canvas and brushes “en plein air” allowing the energy of the experience to lead her creative process.

If she travels, her easel travels with her so that any opportunities of inspiration are not wasted.
