All are invited to Paul Kratter‘s painting demonstration at our monthly meeting.

Paul Kratter‘s evocative, plein-air paintings of California’s scenic coastline, the Sierra Nevada mountains and rolling hills of the Gold Country trigger a sense of immediacy and spontaneity and are a fresh contribution to the California arts tradition.

“The first impression I try to capture is a strong composition. I look to simplify the scene by making bold, graphic shapes. The light and atmosphere are ever changing, and I want to quickly establish a color script. One of the first things I determine is what is going to change the quickest. This is the key area to capture and determine the feel of the painting.”
