Oil Painting Wildlife Demonstration

About Shalese

Ever since I could hold a pencil, I have had a love of drawing and animals. So it was only natural that I combine my two loves. My passion for art has only grown throughout the years and my love of animals has kept up with it. When my family and I took a vacation to Yellowstone in 2009, my inspiration skyrocketed. We were able to get very close to a large bull elk—something I’ve never done before but had always wished to experience. I discovered the sublime in a powerful way, a feeling I hope is portrayed in all my art. From that point on, I have wanted to excel in the field of wildlife art while continuing my passion for equestrian art. I have recently graduated from Northwestern College in St. Paul with a B.A. in Studio Art and hope to make wildlife/equine art my full time profession.

Karrie Evenson – How to Paint a Whimsical Cat

KARRIE EVENSON ARTIST

I am a professional artist from Northwest Arkansas living in the hills of the Ozark Mountains. As an emotional painter, it’s important that I try to convey everyday experiences to tell a story with paint, brush and canvas. It is my hope to draw the viewer in and allow them to walk away with a sense of connection to my art. The only way to paint is by being true to my self, emotionally and passionately, this allows me to be free and to let go. As an emotional painter, I find solace when expressing a part of who I am with my art.

I feel like one of my goals in life is to help re-shape the way beginner painters look at art. I find that most beginners end up quitting and giving up too soon in fear of not being perfect. My job is to teach you that nothing is perfect and art never should be. I hope to help you become inspired, as I have been, by just having fun with creating and expressing oneself. Really, isn’t that what art is all about? How did we get away from that?

“Want to learn more about how to be free and loose with your art? Karrie is now offering workshops ONLINE! What’s even better? They are AFFORDABLE!! The workshops start with the basics, easing you into the wonderful process of this carefree painting style and will gradually get more advanced.
There’s no time limit, so you can learn at YOUR OWN PACE.

Wildlife Drawing Step by Step – How To Draw a Cougar

About The Artist

Born (1961) and raised in Michigan artist Pablo Dominguez began drawing around age 4. As a muchacho (Spanish for “youth”), many hours were spent exploring and working outdoors while visiting relatives in a rural area of Mexico with no electricity or running water, but plenty of ranch animals. The Christian artist summarizes his respect for the natural world by stating “I am continually amazed at the beauty, design, and purpose that almighty God has placed into his creation of nature and wildlife. And I don’t say that in a whimsical or trite manner, but rather from an undersanding that the design, complexity, and order we see in all life points to a common designer rather than a common ancestor”. Pablo’s travels across the United States include visits to areas such as Yellowstone National park, South Dakota’s Badlands, Audubon State Park, and the Great Smoky Mountains. His trips to wildlife refuge areas and large and small zoos also allow him many hours of observation and study of wildlife and landscape.

Pablo’s artwork has appeared in Wildlife Art magazine and he is co-author of an instructional art book on painting wildlife in acrylics for Walter Foster Publications. The year 2005 saw his work accepted into the exhibit “Art of the Animal Kingdom X” in Bennington, Vermont, and the following year his painting titled “Brown Bear Brow” won the Henderson Breakfast Lions Club award, one of the top prizes given at the Kentucky National Willdife Art Exhibit. The artist and his wife Charlene share their home with their black lab and several cats, occasionally doing foster care work for a local animal rescue.
