In the Flow
Learn to paint this beautiful and serene mountain stream, in a loose, impressionistic style. Bruce will show you how to create chunky, natural-looking boulders with palette knife, how to create translucent, moving water that sparkles as it splashes along its course, how to build depth in your painting by softening colors and edges in the distance, and how to offset the cool tranquility with some sunlit backlight, to bring the scene to life.
All painting materials will be supplied for this class. Bring an apron or clothes you don’t mind getting paint on.
What students are saying:
“Thank you so much for the wonderful art experience! I have taken several workshops during my art journey of the last 20 years, but never have a been a part of one quite like yours! Your talents, your organization, your generosity of ideas, your enthusiasm and kindness, have left me incredibly inspired. I feel like my journey is taking a very different and positive path because of you.”- Linda

He taught at the Otis Parsons Institute of Art in Los Angeles, before moving to Arizona in 2000.

He was awarded a major public commission for Sam Houston State University; the ten large works now reside in the new Social Sciences and Humanities building at the Texas college. Marion’s art is represented in nine galleries across the United States and through his online program at www.BruceOnArt.com, he teaches art students across the US, Canada, and England how to improve their art while having an incredible amount of fun along the way!
