Many painters find greens the most difficult color—the human eye sense more distinctons in green than any other color.  While there are probably fascinating evolutionary reasons for this, the painter often finds that painting greens that are at once luminous, varied, and natural, can be quite a challenge.

Born in 1977 and raised in Northern California, Gage Opdenbrouw is an award winning painter, teacher, and woodworker, who until recent times, traveled frequently both to paint and to teach. He now teaches live online courses in drawing and painting to artists from all over the country and around the world.

When he’s not working, he is most often found in Northern California among some of the tallest and quietest trees on earth, where the illuminated fog sweeps in from the pacific. He shares his home and studio in the redwoods with his love, writer Kelly Gray, and two dogs: Hank, a terrier/beagle who remembers every single place he ever found street chicken, and Nootka, a very vocal and sweet husky pup who looks like the best giant squirrel ever. He plays bass and guitar, very poorly and with great enthusiasm. www.gageopdenbrouw.com

A must for the landscape painter!  A note— this won’t be about police report fidelity to literal appearances, but about using the pigments at our disposal to create a ‘felt’ sense of ‘authenticity’.  We will work with green in the context of landscape, but of course the color mixing thoughts can be applied anywhere.
