You’ve heard us speak on this blog (well, you’ve read on this blog…) about how much the High Hand artists love to share. We have art demonstrations in the gallery every third Sunday afternoon, and for all kinds of special events. Well, one of High Hand Gallery’s newest artists, Linda Merchant, has gone one step further: she’s made a video of her paintings that you can watch.
Linda creates richly detailed paintings of wildlife, flowers, and people. Her miniatures are exquisite gems, full of detail and subtlety. And her wildlife paintings? Well, when I look at them, I am always awed to be in the company of someone who can make such beautiful and lifelike work. And she seems to be such a nice person, too!
Here’s one of Linda’s videos, a super high-speed recording of over two hours worth of painting in about seven and a half minutes.
If you’d like to learn some of the techniquest Linda uses, she’ll be teaching classes at High Hand this year. You can check out Linda’s schedule here. (And check back to this site–we’ll be posting the schedules for more classes soon.)
Amazing Linda!! You make it look effortless, which is the mark of a true artist! It is a beautiful piece. Thanks for sharing!
