Seabrook Island Artist Guild (SIAG) welcomes Louis Bruce.
Demonstration – February 3 at Oyster Catcher
Workshop – February 4-5 @ 9:00 am – 4:00 pm at Oyster Catcher
Louis Bruce is a landscape and cityscape oil painter from Beaufort, SC. In his own words:
“My paintings are a reflection of my outlook on life and my experiences. I live in a great part of the world for painting landscapes with vast areas of unspoiled views and beaches. Since I grew up around the ocean and have been surfing most of my life, waves and seascapes seem to be regular subjects. Painting on location when I travel is always my favorite, and figure painting is also something I enjoy.”
Louis’ paintings can be seen at Macdonald Market Place in Frogmore, SC or by personal appointment at his studio in Beaufort. Check out Louis’ website by clicking here.
Louis will start with a demonstration to show how he chooses a subject based on composition and style along with how he begins each piece. He will be teaching participants about his palette and showing them some of his favorite color combinations.
Louis will be emphasizing his background as a plein aire painter and demonstrating how to work quickly and loosely. He wants to emphasize how oil, as a medium, can be “forgiving ” and how sometimes you do not have to follow the rules.
Please contact Tina Mayland at tinamayland@mindspring.com to sign up for the workshop or with any questions.
