Sheri Farabaugh
Oils Demonstration
It is a constant source of wonder that with nothing but a squeeze of paint, some good brushes, and a receptive surface you can tell a story. Transparency, reflections, the power of a flowing stream, a beam of sunshine illuminating the edges of my subject, can all be created on canvas. The hope of pulling off that little miracle every now and then is what brings me to my studio almost every day. Finding beauty in the details has led me to a realistic style. I generally want to capture my subject as it is, editing only to achieve good composition or to lend emphasis to a particular aspect of that subject. Sheri's paintings have received many regional and national awards. She is a Signature member of the American Society of Marine Artists and a member of the Oil Painters of America, International Guild of Realism, American Women Artists, and the Salmagundi Club of New York City
