International Plein Air Painters FEATURE ARTIST APRIL 2008 - Aaron Holland

International Plein Air Painters FEATURE ARTIST APRIL 2008 - Aaron Holland
Brief Bio.

Aaron is most well known for his Plein Air landscapes and his affiliation with International Plein Air Painters and Landscape Artists International. He will be hosting a stop on the "World Tour" in April at the Link Gallery in Fish Creek, WI.

Aaron is also a seasoned Instructor. He has taught workshops at numerous locations, notably at the Peninsula Art School of Fish Creek, WI since 2000. Holland is also a Charter Instructor at the Kewaunee Academy of Fine Art, formerly the Barnsite Art Studio of Kewaunee, WI. He has taught regularly there since 2001. Holland's goals as an instructor and as an artist run parallel, that is: a healthy respect for nature and an observe of fundamental "truths" such as light and atmosphere, shape and value. Holland teaches an academic approach to drawing and painting and stresses the importance of understanding the basics such as accurate draughtsmanship, correct color and mixing, and calligraphic brushwork, as well as composition.
