FALLBROOK–MiraCosta College art instructor Diane Adams and 25 of her watercolor students will be featured artists at Fallbrook’s Brandon Gallery in May.
According to Adams, many of those included in the exhibition that runs from May 4 through May 31 are award winning artists whose work was honored at the Del Mar Fair, San Diego Watercolor Society, Vista Art Foundation. MiraCosta Colleges juried exhibit and the Carlsbad Oceanside Art League (COAL). An artists’ reception open to the public is scheduled at Brandon Gallery, Saturday, May 8, from 3 to 5 p.m.
Adams declared several independent studies participants featured artists. They include David Banks, Susan Currey and Bonnie Gleason and MiraCosta College Medal of Art winner, Erin Cook.
David Banks, she explained, paints old weathered and textured subjects using a build-up of glazes, a very difficult process. Susan Currey specializes in large and intimate still lifes and flowers with lush wet-into-wet colors. Local scenes and moody interiors are the specialty of Bonnie Gleason who employs glowing colors for emphasis. Erin Cook developed an expertise around photo-realistic paintings. Adams’ work will also be featured.
