The afternoon of her One Woman Show reception, Andrea Petitto will be demonstrating several stages of the development of her semi-abstract paintings in oils in order to show how recognizable forms emerge and are integrated with the background colors and shapes.
“Figural work is my passion because of the evocative nature of body language and form. A level of abstraction in the figure allows the viewer to experience the emotional impact in a universal way, without concern for a specific identity. Brush or knife strokes are more important to me than representational detail. I like the tension between the sense of paint and surface on one hand and the illusion of form and depth on the other. I try to make … Read More

In their own styles, these master artists capture the magnificence of our natural environment, our structures and those around us. “A pair of superb painters” — Fine Art Connoisseur
Adults and children alike are amazed to see the processes that lead to a finish painting. Artists are happy to answer questions and discuss their techniques. Maryalice Eizenberg and Susan Overstreet will be painting in oil plein air (outside, weather permitting) and Amy Sanders will be working in pastel inside the Museum.
Join artists, author Don Wilding, friends and neighbors while viewing the Outermost Inspirations exhibition at the newly refurbished Orleans Historical Society Museum.
Learn how Beston’s trail to Cape Cod began in World War I, how he tapped into the healing power of nature on the Outer Beach, how The Outermost House inspired legislators in Washington to establish the Cape Cod National Seashore, and the influence The Outermost House had on Rachel Carson and the American environmental movement. Archival photos and footage from the Beston/Outermost House documentary film will be included. Wilding will be available to sign books before and after his talk.
SaraJane will demonstrate the tonal sketch technique with raw umber on linen to establish the drawing and values for the rest of the painting.
Sharon McGauley will be painting a tiny oil painting from a combination of sketches and photos. She will be working with her plein air easel and recent photographs.
Paul Batch will demonstrate his approach to painting Cape Cod dunes. Emphasis will be on simplification of the subject and paint application. All materials used will be explained in detail.
Working in oil, Eizenberg will demonstrate how she constructs the foundation of a successful painting by taking a blank canvas and creating a monochromatic underpainting on which subsequent layers of paint will be applied until the work is complete.
An intriguing show of new works along with the sketches, studies, reference photos and notes created in preparation for the finished paintings. Studies can help an artist plan composition, color choices, light and perspective. More spontaneous than most finished works, studies can be dynamic, show the artist’s thought process and often differ greatly from the finally presented paintings. For instance, Michelangelo’s study for the Libyan Sibyl on the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel is based on a male model while … Read More
Amy will demonstrate building depth and luminosity with pastel as she works towards bringing a painting to life through the multiple layers. Pastel particles retain their individuality within layers. If carefully layered using strokes in a variety of colors, weights and direction, light bounces among the particles creating a unique radiance. Audience questions and comments will be encouraged and add to the afternoon.
A special exhibition of work by popular and award-winning artists John F. Murphy and Paul Schulenburg
