Eva Marie Tanner Klaas' Still Life

Eva Marie Tanner Klaas' still life have a strong French Impressionist influence. She originally studied color with our popular artist and instructor Audi Stanton. While in the Sacramento area , Eva Marie had the opportunity to take classes with Susan Sarback at the School of Light and Color.
Here is an example of Eva's still life work. The paint is thinly layered with a palette knife in order to keep the warm or cool under painting. This creates the vibrating color and light. You cannot get this with a brush because the color becomes muddy. With palette knife and Sarback's method,  you layer pure color on top of color while constantly comparing the light or dark, dull or bright, and warm or cool.
