About Face Preview of Museum Show April 18

Many thanks to all The About Face Artists that extended their hospitality to me when I popped in to preview their work for the Big gala to be held April 18th at the Columbia Museum of Art on Main St. Columbia SC. For further details about the Soiree du Soleil Gala just click it.

The close up painting shown is by Bonnie Goldberg, one of my favorite local artists. The silhouette of the city in the background was painting by David West and various art work is shown on the wall here by the About Face Artists.

The event is sure to be talked about by one and all attendees as it is in conjunction with the wonderful Turner to Cezanne exhibit currently showing at the Main St, Gallery in Columbia, SC.

The Art of Seeing Two Day workshop

The Columbia Museum of Art's About Face group believes that "if you wish to be a successful artist, it is essential to take time to train yourself to see things accurately. All the latest painting techniques, gadgets, and gimmicks will not help you create a successful picture if you paint or draw what you know about an object or scene rather than reproducing what is actually right in front of your eyes. Once you learn to see, you can draw or paint anything!" With that in mind, About Face hosts a Two Day Seeing Workshop, January 11 & 12, with instructor Robert H. Way, a member of the American Society of Portrait Artists.
