Nature & Nostalgia – Those are the subjects to which Tina Gagnon’s considerable talents are applied as a hyper-realistic artist. As she says, “The devil is in the details and the more details the better”. The medium of colored pencil affords her the ability to hone in on that aspect. Nature has so many nuances that detail is imperative to capture the essence of a living being, whether it is flower or animal.
After choosing what to draw, she lightly sketches out an outline of the subject starting from light to dark and building up the color in light layers until the color “pops”, usually accomplished in five to six layers of color. With the continued build up of layers the piece comes alive as you will see during her demonstration on November4th!
Tina’s presentation will be at the Manchester Police Station’s Community Room at 405 Valley St., Manchester, NH
