Scott C Johnson
2nd THURSDAY DEMO
SCOTT C. JOHNSON
“THE FINE POINT OF THINGS”
SECOND THURDAY DEMO MAY 11, 2017
DOORS OPEN AT 10AM, DEMO AT 11 AM
BUFFET LUNCH 12:15 PM
Scott’s watercolor paintings are rooted in the plein-air
tradition and the soft washes of Japanese painting, as well as the refined line work of the Persian miniature. His paintings record the process of his technique, which often lead to happy accidents with less regard for a specific reality. Scott uses these small touches to indicate a valley beyond a hill or the tantalizing glint of water over a grassy dune. His work is soft and welcoming and is pleasantly juxtaposed behind his refined details. In his demo, Scott will finish a painting using these minor details to create a complete work.
Scott C. Johnson is a sensual being with a deep appreciation for music, dance and garden design. His love of being in nature is evident in his work yet its mood is often portrayed by
impending weather, which dominates the subjects in the landscape. Subtle references to a change in the clouds and the loneliness of a leafless tree give reference to death, yet the mood is never hopeless and his paintings lets us know that spring is approaching and brings with it the tiny leaves of the next season.
Scott is an Artist-in-Residence at OSA and on the teaching staff. Peruse his website at scottcjohnsonartist.com.
