Palette and Palate Pleasing Art Event
Curry Arts would like to extend an open invitation to an art event to kick off the First Annual Goldrush Art Festival in Gold Beach. Thursday, April 30, at 7:00 pm in the Biscuit Showroom of Gold Beach Books, Sterling Edwards, the renowned North Carolina watercolorist will demonstrate the art of watercolor painting.
While Sterling Edwards is serving up his palette of pigment, Rory Meadows will be serving up hors d’oeuvres to please the palates of attending art and hors d’oeuvres aficionados. There is no charge for this Curry Arts hosted event. Seating is limited, so an early arrival is advised.
Sterling Edwards will be in Gold Beach to act as the awards judge for the Goldrush Art Festival Show at the new Goldrush Cultural Center and to hold a watercolor workshop April 27th through May 1st at the Pacific Reef Resort. He maintains a wonderful website with his biography, many examples of his work and glowing reviews of his workshops at <www.sterlingedwards.com>.
Sterling Edwards is a contemporary watercolorist born in Kansas City, Missouri, in 1951 and now living in North Carolina. In 1985, he began studying transparent watercolors and was immediately captivated by the freshness and luminosity of the medium. Influenced by watercolor master Zoltan Szabo, Sterling spent several years developing his own unique style of painting with watercolors.
Most of Sterling’s paintings reflect his love of the outdoors and the natural beauty that surrounds us. Primarily using large flat brushes, Sterling focuses on the design of the subject and the patterns of light and dark as the foundation for his painting. Then he begins the process of conveying his thoughts and interpretations with stylized shapes, bold lights and darks, and dramatic color rhythms. The result is an expressive painting that is often a balance of abstract and representational design that captures the mood and dynamics of the scene as interpreted by Sterling.
This event is free and open to the public as part of Curry Arts’ community outreach agenda. Keep this one on your calendar and bring all your friends.
