Kenneth Hanger Oils and Watercolors
Artist Statement I I have drawn and painted
since early youth, growing up in the Maryland
suburbs of Washington, D.C.
I began pursuing art seriously in the
1980’s with watercolors holding my interest.
.
After painting in watercolors for twenty years
I added oils to my repertoire and currently
enjoy both.
I enjoy the softness and looseness of
watercolors as well as their portability.
Oils bring out the vividness and luster
to my scenes.
I enjoy portraiture, landscapes and still
life, with plein air giving pieces a feeling of
spontaneity when this is available.
I enjoy palette knife painting
and like the texture and looseness.
I now combine some of those techniques to
bring about the final results.
This is an evolving journey and hope you
enjoy the fruits of this trip! |
