Colorado artist Skip Whitcomb discusses the necessity of abstract composition which underlies all good painting. About the Artist: An accomplished outdoor painter, Whitcomb has received numerous awards for his landscape paintings in oil and pastel, his work resides in major public and private collections.  He has had several one-man shows and participated in numerous gallery invitational and museum exhibitions throughout the country. Graduated Art Center College of Design. “Mood and feeling are more important with Whitcomb than visual reference, though all of his landscapes he paints are compelling places,” says one museum curator.  “The detail of the physical world is subdued in response to the spiritual one.”  Whitcomb says, “Once you internalize the language of painting you see the world differently.  It never leaves you.  The veil of rational order is lifted and what hangs in the air are sensations of painted possibilities.  On good days, some would call it poetry.” If you are interested in Skip's mentioning course, visit: https://tucsonartacademyonline.com/skip-whitcomb-color-painting-online-art-workshop To visit Skip's website directly see: https://www.skipwhitcomb.com/index.html If you are interested in more free content from TAAO make sure to visit our blog at: https://tucsonartacademyonline.com/blog https://www.instagram.com/taaonline/ https://business.facebook.com/TucsonArtAcademyOnline
