ARTIST RICK OSANN TO TEACH WATERCOLOR AT ARTWAVES THIS SPRING
Press release
BAR HARBOR—It’s about more than just learning the basics of watercolor when you work with painter Rick Osann; it’s about spending time with an accomplished scenic artist who has worked for stage, film, and TV in New York City.
From May 7 to June 18, Wednesdays, from 1:30 - 3:30 P.M., artists will have a chance to learn the basics, yes, but also spend time with Osann as he teaches about watercolor techniques, materials, and design principles, helping you to create your own landscape paintings.
According to ArtWaves, Osann has been happily focusing much of his painting in Bar Harbor, Maine, one of the beautiful places of our world, in his studio adjacent to Acadia National Park.
From his background as a theatrical set and lighting designer, Rick is most interested in exploring light, shadow and color in dramatic moments of nature through his painting. His work celebrates the beauty of the Maine landscape.
"Rick has been part of the ArtWaves community for quite some time. He is an extraordinary artist, exceedingly patient, and excited about giving back to the community." said ArtWaves Director Katie Hodgkins
Osann’s class is part of ArtWaves’ bigger goal said Assistant Director Will Erlandson.
“After getting to know the community members over the past months, our executive director has received feedback that members are interested in more foundational visual arts classes in traditional disciplines. We want to bring in skilled teaching artists who can work with all skill levels. You'll likely see more multi-session classes and offerings like this over the next year. We hope classes such as this exemplify Artwave's commitment to offering educational experiences within traditional artistic disciplines,” Erlandson said.
