ARTIST COUNCIL VIRTUAL ART TALKs: 2021

Jim ellsberry
​The Expressive Painting
​Thursday january 28
6 - 7:45pm 


​How can we be more expressive with painting?
​
Artist Council member and art teacher Jim Ellsberry will host an online Zoom session to talk about painting as Expression rather than representation. He will show how artists have created distinctive works which draw attention and reward the viewer in new, interesting, and often unsuspecting ways.

Examples and techniques will be shown that apply to all forms of media and painting, from realism to abstraction. This will be an overview of his upcoming online class “The Expressive Landscape” which starts Tuesday 2/16/21.
