Oil Painting With A Knife, October 12 At Meeting House
The Society of Creative Arts of Newtown (SCAN) will host a program on using a painting knife to create a work in oil on Wednesday, October 12.
Guest artist Joan Jardine will offer the free demonstration, which will begin at 7:30 pm. Her subject will be a landscape.
This meeting is open to the public, free of charge, and will be held in the lower level of Newtown Meeting House, 31 Main Street (at the flagpole).
Joan Jardine is a New Englander, but has lived in different parts of the United States where she put down temporary roots and studied her craft. She has been a life long oil painter. Formal training at North Texas State University and the Cape Cod School of Art has further honed her skills.
It was at the Cape School that she fell in love with the impressionist pallet, the painting knife and color. In addition to her career as an oil painter, Ms Jardine has mastered the art of batiking, silk screening and faux finishing.
Ms Jardine is an elected member of the Connecticut Plein Air Painters Society and West Hartford Art League. She has received awards from Woodstock School of Art and Connecticut Plein Air Painters. In addition, her paintings were chosen for the cover of Celebration of Connecticut Farms in 2009 and 2010. Her most recent award was in the â2010 CT + 5 Regionalâ at West Hartford Art League.
She is on the faculty of Woodstock School of Art, in Woodstock, N.Y., and West Hartford Art League.
