Chuck Weber (Waukesha, WI, USA)
|
|
|
|
A singular “California impressionist” style exemplifies Chuck Weber's work, which celebrates life in color; deep and saturated straight from the tube. While he paints a variety of subjects, including figurative works and corporate commissions, he particularly enjoys the challenge of oil portraiture. His signature portraits are candid and capture a “moment in time”, painted in a Renaissance technique of dark to light on sanded panels. The winner of over two dozen national competitions, Chuck is also an award-winning alla prima and plein air painter. A three time honoree in the Richeson 7...

I was born in France in Paris. When I turned 16, I had had enough of learning science, math, chemistry and physics, subjects imposed by my school and contrary to my nature. As a result I enrolled in a preparatory school ( Atelier Beaudry) for Ecole Nationale Superieure Des Arts Decoratifs de Paris and studied there two years. Then after passing the examination successfully I entered Ecole Des Arts Decoratifs School. I studied for four years there and afterwards went to Italy for a year of specialized studies at the Vatican and Villa Borgese. All together I studied art for almost eight years...

Sam McKinney (Morehead, KY, USA)

A deeply creased, time-worn face peeks into the light from a gingham bonnet in the transparency of water color. A large U.S. Congressman looks down on a congressional meeting room in the House of Representatives in an elegantly framed oil portrait. A larger-than-life-sized family cavorts in the water of a hospital fountain, their laughter frozen perpetually in bronze. These are but a few snapshots of the tapestry of métier that is the work of Sam McKinney. Born in 1951 in Lexington, Kentucky, Sam McKinney spent his childhood in coal studded Fleming-Neon in southeastern Kentucky. After r...

Pastel specialist Gary Regnier creating traditional portraits and pet and wildlife portraits. Gary prefers to work in a bold realistic style and loves to depict strong light and colour.

I am available for oil portrait commissions within all areas of Mainland UK. I will travel to you. I am happy to take on any subject: child portrait paintings, family portrait paintings, pet portrait paintings, etc. Great care is taken in all aspects of making each portrait so that a high level of beauty and realism are achieved and the painting communicates uniquely in relation to the subject and for the buyer. Both professional quality canvas and oil paints are also used to ensure quality and longevity.

Jandi Small (Myakka City, FL, USA)

Although Jandi Small pursued other areas of study in school – she earned a degree in Biology and pursued a Master’s degree in Landscape Architecture – the arts have been her true passion since childhood. Ten years ago Jandi focused on her artwork full time when she created a pet portrait for an animal rescue group from whom she had adopted a dog. The painting was auctioned at a fund raising event and this proved so successful that Jan’s efforts raised over $60,000 for the group over the next two years. Jandi and her physician husband live on a rural property with a menagerie of rescu...

John Markese is a Chicago area artist that specializes in figurative art and portraiture in a variety of mediums, but most notably oil and acrylic paints and pastels. His style is spontaneous, filled with lively brushwork and agile mark making. The palette John uses punctuates these qualities in his marks and juxtaposes unusual hues to visually describe the human form in interesting ways. He mainly paints from live models and utilizes the time constraints of painting from life to emphasize the intensity of his style. His acrylic and pastel paintings feature human figures whose bodies are...

I am a direct painter who loves to work from life. I know it isn't possible to do that always, but I feel my work is the freshest when I do. My style is colorful and impressionistic, not a photograph , but my depiction and interpretation of the subject . My work is full of emotion due to the trials of living life and my ability to capture someone's essence and spirit on the canvas. I love painting in oil, and pastel as well as charcoal and watercolor. If you sit for me live, don't expect that you will be still, as I enjoy the conversation that allows me to see within your soul and ca...
