Paint Adjectives, Not Nouns! Demo with Michele Kenna

Michele will demonstrate her techniques for achieving a lively semiabstract pastel landscape.

Exact representation and detail are not the goal. Looking closely at the endless colors and patterns in nature can lead to an expressive semiabstract painting. This point of view allows one to express the essence or feeling of the scene rather than dwelling on the details.

Michele Kenna is an award-winning artist who combines nature and abstract expressionism to capture a “moment” of discovery and express the essence of a scene. A pastel artist for more than 25 years, Michele works from her studio at Porter Mill in Beverly, MA. Her work is found in private collections in the United States, Canada, and Europe.
