**New Guest Artist!**

Due to the unavailablity of our original guest artist for November, we have been able to secure our NEW guest artist, Jim Green. Jim will do a demonstration in oil at the next monthly meeting (11/19). We thank Jim for being willing to come last minute. You can learn more about Jim on his website: (artbyjimgreen.com). A detail of one of his paintings is pictured on the left (or below if using a cell phone).

Artist's Bio:

James Green was born in Philadelphia in 1956 and grew up in the rural Warminster section of Bucks County. His youth was surrounded by abandoned barns, old farmhouses, and open fields which influenced the subject material of his later art. Jim, always interested in drawing, took a chance at an art contest in high school and won a partial scholarship to Temple University’s Tyler School of Art, where he met his future wife, artist Betz Green. Working his way through school in the construction industry to pay the bills, Jim eventually sidetracked into a 30-year odyssey owning and operating his own construction company. However, never losing his love for painting, Jim built his own art studio where he could focus on developing his painting style in the Bucks County tradition. Jim was greatly influenced by the colorful palettes of the New Hope and French impressionists, and later in life by the expressionist style of the Viennese Secessionists. Jim’s remarkable career is reflected in the numerous awards, exhibitions, and his teaching history.

Demo/Workshop Information:

For his demo, Jim will explain his painting process in oil and entertain any questions. He will use a pre-toned canvas with a roughed in sketch and do a three-color tonal painting. This technique can be used as a Grisaille for an under painting for color.

For the workshop, Jim will show participants his exploration of his three-color painting process. Please bring your own reference material to paint from (at least 2 photographs).

Supply List:

Please bring your oil paints that you normally use which should include a basic palette (ex. red, yellow, blue, and white), odorless solvent, rags, easel, canvas, or board and at least 2 photographs. Also a drop cloth to place under your easel.
