    FEATURE ARTIST – Welcome to Marker MagicMichael Winston will share the magic of marker medium by demonstrating his distinctive three-dimensional surrealistic style in his Marker Dreamscapes. Looking extremely close at his imaginative floral compositions, you will see something strange – actually it’s what you won’t see that’s unusual…there are no brush strokes. He is among the few marker artists in the country who create works using nothing but markers – not the same markers most of us have lying around, but high quality instruments that lay down strong colors found in his works. “My floral works best utilize the spectrum of the medium, and due to their true colors when grouped in a bouquet, they invite your eyes to dance from color to color.” The rhythm and movement of his compositions invite and excite the imagination. His color is “candy for the eye. Art should be as pleasing to the eye as food is to the tongue. My art is a visual joy.” See his work on the website www.markermagic.com

    Ewa Bardasz:  Tied for People's Choice

    Thanks to our March Demonstrator

     

    At the March 2026 Zoom meeting, Pattianne Baran gave a thorough explanation of the range of materials in her studio for the Painting with Pastels demonstration. Working from her own photograph of a butterfly and flower, she established the composition with simple
    outlines on Fabriano Artistico, a thick, hot press paper, explaining that she likes the smooth finish. After placing background color with Inktense pencils by Derwent, she uses water to create an ink wash, which will stay in place with other layers on top. Having experimented
    with a range of pastels, she prefers the creamy consistency of PanPastels by Golden and uses them to blend luscious colors. She works in some neon hues for highlights! Luminance oilbased pencils are ideal for both color blending and detail. At times a fine marker or thin dry brush acrylic furnish fine lines for fur or whiskers on her popular pet portraits. She and her husband, who did the camera work for the Zoom meeting, will be at Penitentiary Glen from noon to 4:00 on August 22 to open a joint exhibition and hope to see EAA members there.

    Artist Statement:

    I think of the work I create as an artist as disrupted-derivative-realism. To me that means my art is usually inspired by something recognizable and is influenced by interpretation (mine and the viewers.) I like to use a variety of materials and techniques to create moods, add extra layers of interpretation, and communicate something special, in an effort to find the essence of my subject. I continually experiment with various techniques and materials: oil paint, acrylic, watercolor, fabric, paper, collage, applied to  canvas, hardboard, paper, by printmaking, painting, pasting, repurposing found objects. Exploring how the material and/or the technique influences the subject excites me as much as the subject.

    I have purposefully devoted many hours learning how to express myself artistically. My education as an artist has included working with other artists, attending art classes at Cleveland State University, Cleveland Institute of Art, Community College, local workshops, private tutoring, trial-and-error, experimentation, research, and my very active imagination. I hope you enjoy my art and bring your own story to the work.
