Art from Nature: Discovering Nature Through the Lens of the Watercolor Brush
The Conversation
Art can challenge viewpoints or attitudes that we didn’t even know we had. Our guest uses artwork to provoke you into examining what you are seeing in nature. Making art from nature reinterprets the natural elements by reassigning meaning to natural objects. Art from nature is ephemeral; creating a new art object while leaving the real thing to disintegrate naturally. Art from nature unites natural elements with artistic vision to create artwork that pushes the boundaries of what art is and how we perceive ourselves in the natural world. Our guest uses watercolors in ways that encourage you to relax and have fun painting while using your brush to see more deeply the natural world around you.
