1st Thursday Demonstration at OSA

Blueberry Roan by Ward Stroud

1st Thursday Feburary 2nd Evening Demo

Ward Jene Stroud
A True Renaissance Man

Ward believes "Who we are, and everything that we do and create in every moment of our lives is a culmination of what we have learned, done, and experienced on our life's journey."

He has assembled, in his 58 years, some of life's greatest lessons working as a professional figure skater, graphic artist, fine artist, singer/songwriter/musician, published photographer, dancer, instructor, and entrepreneur.

Actually, there's a lot more he’s done, but who would believe it?

His life's body of work, hard-won lessons, triumphs, tragedies and experiences are the wells that he draws from to create art. Ward owns and operates a small gallery in historic downtown Portland, Oregon and is a juried member of both the WSO (Watercolor Society of Oregon) and the Oregon society of Artists (OSA) where he is on permanent staff and teaches a weekly class.

Ward has had numerous one-man exhibits, his work has been featured in magazines and on program covers, and he has produced three feature Instructional DVDs/Videos, titled "Brusho and Beyond.” Ward has also written several published articles on watercolor and Brusho and several highly-viewed YouTube videos.

What's new?

What's new with Ward Jene Stroud!

Fridays - 9/;30am - 12:30pm

Painting, Pixles, and People...

Brusho demo!

First day we will have Blick gift cards for everyone attending!

Being a modern artist today is roughly...

1. 60% easel work (painting, drawing, and basically creating)
2. 70% preparation (acquiring, selecting, composing, and editing images (digitally and photo) or finding locations.
3. 50% finishing (framing,  matting, coating,  and capturing copies for reproduction)
4. 90% marketing (distribution l, galleries, Internet/webpage, social media, hanging showing and selling)
...and so, so, so much more!

Each week we will focus on a "hands on" painting technique complete with demonstrations and critiques and... We will also touch (organically adjusted by class) on the other things (with surprise special guests) that make being an artist both challenging and rewarding!

Come and find community in our energetic, fun, safe, and creative environment!

**There may be field trips too!
