Tuesday 17 June, live demo by Ian McManus – Street Scene in Watercolour, 7.30pm Centre 70
Ian McManus is a professional artist specialising in watercolour.
His atmospheric paintings capture a moment in time from daily life. He paints street scenes bustling with figures and the hubbub of everyday life. He strives to catch the energy and essence of a location through lively application of paint using direct brushwork, without overlays of washes normally associated with watercolour painting; he believes this gives each finished painting transparency and freedom of expression.
Painting Plein Air where possible, he constantly seeks locations and subjects with an interesting narrative and focal point, chasing the effects of natural light and shade, very much as the impressionist painters who are a great inspiration to him.
