Instructor: Melissa Gannon
Paint this frog waiting patiently for the dragonfly to come closer in acrylic with Melissa Gannon. Mix a variety of greens and contrast with browns and oranges. Use wax paper for stamping unique textures. Have fun creating an environment where more is happening than meets the eye
We are THRILLED to offer this class as an "Art for All" offering. What does this mean? The Silverton Art Center applied for, and was awarded, a grant that allows us to offer classes to the community at a greatly reduced cost. MOST MATERIALS for this class are SUBSIDIZED by a grant from Lynn’s Smile Fund of Oregon, through Oregon Community Foundation.
WHAT TO BRING TO CLASS:
Please bring the following items to class:
Paper towels
Water containers —you need a jar with a lid to take your paint water home as we can’t put it down the sink
A rag or paper towel for wiping your brushes
Pencil
Scissors
ABOUT THIS INSTRUCTOR:
A love of color is a driving force behind Melissa Gannon’s art—first in watercolor then acrylic, pastel, mixed media, and oil. Melissa enjoys painting nature. Her inspiration comes from travel, hiking, and exploring her local area. Her home in the Pacific Northwest provides ready access to the coast, rivers, mountains and desert. She loves painting outdoors—portraying a perfect peaceful place in the woods, a bird surveying the world, or the vibrancy of a bunch of daisies. She finds that observations made in plein air painting enhance her studio work.
Along with creating art, Melissa shares her skills and knowledge through classes and workshops. She began teaching in 2001 and finds that it enhances her work as she strives to find challenging material for the fast-growing skills of her students. Some of her students have attended her classes for over ten years, and she loves seeing their artistic expression grow.
Galleries exhibiting Melissa’s work include Earthworks Gallery in Yachats, OR and Aurora Gallery in Vancouver, WA. She participates in local shows including the Gresham Art Walk and the Oregon City Festival of the Arts.
