Gary Heuvel
I have leafed through every art book in the local libraries. I am particularly drawn to the Group of Seven, Salvadore Dali, and also classic masters from the 1600's to 1800's, especially European. The impressionists are among my favorites, especially Edaurd Manet. I often visit galleries, and bring my sketch book with me to better grasp the techniques of the greats.
I have two main mediums. I draw portraits in pencil, and paint landscapes in oil. I tend to go for fine detail. My painting technique involves many thin layers. For the last several years my oil palette has been reduced to a blue, red, yellow, and white. I have become very familiar with how to attain all the colours I need from these. |
I will consider commissions. Please contact garyheuvel@gmail.com with inquiries. If you wish to receive emails from me about my progress, and upcoming shows, then just send me an email and I'll add yours to my following.
