NEWS RELEASE: Thomas Bradshaw painting “Sunset Rendezvous” awarded 2nd Place – Abstract

in FASO BoldBrush Painting Competition

Richmond based artist, Thomas Bradshaw, graduated from the Art Institute of Atlanta with a degree in Graphic Design. After graduation he moved to Jackson Hole, WY where his evolution into a plein air artist began to take shape. In this class Thomas will bring his plein air knowledge into the new RAL Art Center studio.

Thomas has a loose and painterly approach which he will be sharing in the two-day class. “This style of painting allows the artist to imply detail without overstating it,” says Thomas. A limited palette of three colors will be used to create a textural impression which draws the viewer in for a closer look.

The class will enable students to bring light and expression into their paintings. Thomas will inspire students to achieve a loose emotional painting using gestural brushwork. Color mixing from a limited palette will be used to create a better painting from the students’ photo references.  “Light is the heart of any painting and that light is the quality that inspires the dynamic nature of the landscape.”
