46 FOUR SEASONS BREEZE | MAY 2021
This is the perspective of the artist of the month, Robert Isava:
This image is titled "The Gardner's Fence", 30"x30", acrylics on canvas.
This painting took a total of 14 months to paint due to Covid-19.
Although it took me all this time to finish, I continued exploring the art
of blending colors and how to use different brushes for a more realistic
finish. It doesn't matter how simple a painting might appear to be, by
achieving the right color tones and perspective, it makes the painting
more pleasant to the eyes. Painting to me is a learning process that
allows the exploration and expression of life around me. This is only
my third year of painting and it has become a part of my life. Although
we haven't gathered in a classroom for the past year, we continue to be
in touch with our mentor Rob Kelman. I would not be painting if it
wasn't for Rob. His efforts have taught me how to go beyond my own
visions. He challenges me and all of my classmates to draw and paint.
I also enjoy the chat room created by Rob in order to keep in touch and
post our progress to my fellow classmates and learn from each other
during the pandemic. It looks like classes are starting soon and I can't
wait to see everyone. Be safe and explore the artistic side in you.
Classes are Mondays 10am- 12noon and/or Wednesdays 6-8pm.
There is a nominal $5 fee per person, per session. Masks are required
and social distancing is implemented in each class. If you have any
questions, call Rob Kelman at (951) 992-9156. ~ Rob Kelman
