MAUREEN GASS-BROWN Watercolor Artist

MAUREEN GASS-BROWN

Maureen is my favorite watercolor artist and I've had the pleasure of attending several of her painting workshops over the years. She has a unique style of painting. Her underpainting is done by placing watered down colors on a piece of glass and pressing watercolor paper over the paint. After lifting the paper, she lets the paint dry. Then, the magic happens..........she paints over the wonderful background, not knowing, in advance, what she will paint. She just lets it happen. If you like to paint, I suggest you go on her site and see where she will be teaching. You won't be disappointed!!

Born and raised in Massachusetts, Maureen received her B.F.A. degree in Painting and Design from Massachusetts College of Art (“Mass Art“) in Boston (1971). It was there that she discovered her appreciation, awe, and natural affinity for the medium of watercolor.

Maureen shares her artistic credo:“In approaching my work, I always try to reach the poetry in the subject matter of what I am painting. The fluid kaleidoscopic nature of watercolor allows me to capture this emotion, essence and energy. Consequently, I prefer as little detail as possible so as not to interfere with the freshness and directness in my experiencing both subject and medium. Watercolor is such an exhilarating and challenging medium, and I often feel like I have barely scratched the surface!”
