SUMMARY:Artist Demonstration: Bill Lane
DESCRIPTION:Come see one of our favorite artists in their element as he paints and educates the public about his process. Enjoy a cash bar and free snacks while you watch his creation come to life. \nBill Lane is a painter who primarily uses watercolor to capture the beauty of natural light in his works. He owns a gallery in Chatham\, MA and has won numerous awards\, including Best in Show at Spring Bull Gallery in 2016. \n“Everyday scenes intrigue me the most; be it a barren landscape\, boats in the harbor or city life on a busy day. I observe how the light plays into the scene and reflects off the subjects. I work to capture that light while enhancing my point-of-interest in the painting.” – Bill Lane \nIn partnership with Rockport Art Association.
