About the instructor: Maine watercolorist Christopher Magnuson takes a reckless and energetic drawing style to his work in paint. His paintings don’t try to conceal the drawing underneath, they celebrate it as the structure that supports the paint above . . . and sometimes below. His images feature an approachable style that depicts a very familiar and recognizable Maine, in all its varied beauty. Whether shown through watercolor, watercolor and ink or achromatic water soluble graphite, his landscapes and figure studies exhibit line work that is beneath, but not subordinate. Chris lives in Portland and paints throughout southern and western Maine.
