Bob RohmÕs fresh,
informative workshops are an intensive period of work, study and fun. The Saginaw Art Museum is proud to welcome
this gifted painter and instructor.
Bob found joy in art
at a young age. After graduating from the York Academy of Art
he worked in the film and video industry.
The demands of running his own production company interrupted his
personal painting for nearly ten years.
Upon settling in Texas, his return to painting was triggered by the
broad vistas of the
landscape. He began to cut back on
his production company and, within a few years, was a full-time painter.
Bob teaches, lectures
and demonstrates throughout the United States. His art and teachings have been featured in numerous
publications, and his work has won many awards and is in private and corporate
collections.
Each day, Bob
lectures and demonstrates for students.
Topics include application of the medium to achieving clean color, good
value relationships and balanced compositions. He works individually with each student and guides them at
their own level and in their own style.
Weather permitting, students will paint either in oil or pastel en
plein air each day.
For those looking to hone
their skills without benefit of formal instruction. Students should bring their
own materials. Drawing horses and easels provided for painting and drawing
studieos. A facilitator will be
provided. Registration required as space is
limited.
