FEATURED ARTIST: MARK PERSYN
Trail to Luchenbach by Mark Persyn
Mark Persyn was born in San Antonio, Texas in 1960. After graduating from The University of Texas @ San Antonio with a bachelor of Fine Arts Degree, he began a career as an airbrush illustrator. For the next 17 years he created illustrations for clients such as Pepsi Cola, Sea World, Blue Bell Creameries, Corona Brewing Company, Time Warner Cable and SouthwAirlines. By 1995, computers became advanced enough that Mark began rendering his illustrations digitally.
Mark's painting style is realism and is achieved entirely with a painting knife. The small, thick colorful strokes of paint blend together at a distance in a technique known as "optical blending".
FOR THE ARTIST:
Last newsletter I recommended, I'd rather be in the studio!: The Artist's No-Excuse Guide to Self-Promotion by Alyson B. Stanfield. In this book the author reminds us how important our contacts and relationships are to us as we share our art. All of us know about 150 people she explains! ---Food for thought!
