Acrylic Figure In A Landscape,

January 12 At Meeting House

At the next program hosted by the Society of Creative Arts of Newtown (SCAN), Beverly Branch will paint a figure in a landscape using acrylics

The demonstration scheduled for Wednesday, January 12, at 7:30 pm. It will take place in the lower meeting room of Newtown Meeting House, 31 Main Street. All are welcome and admission is free.

Ms Branch speaks of herself as a mover of color and manipulator of images in her paintings.

“I give rise to the spirit and goodness of what I see as valuable on this fragile and extraordinary place we call earth,” she has said.

Ms Branch will share with attendees how digital photography has proven to be a great resource to her as an artist.

“The potential for a great many variations on a theme is endless,” she said. “For my demo figure in landscape, I will show [some of] my photos and talk about composition, value, form and expression. My process is not new but the way I approach my subjects may be something you are not familiar with.”

Beverly Branch graduated from Paier College of Art in 1973. She was the recipient of the Urban Arts Initiative Grant by Connecticut Commission for the Arts in 1999. She has completed commissioned work for Reader’s Digest Young Family book series Thumberlina and Nightingale in 2003 and is working on Proud Little Peacock for Reader’s Digest Kids series Little Animal Adventures.
