March 27, 2024 Artist Demonstration features oil painter Howard Park, ASMA

  • Wednesday, March 27, 2024, 6:30 to 8:30 pm, Friends Room, Welles Turner Memorial Library, 2407 Main Street, Glastonbury.

    Howard Park’s demonstration will focus on how he uses both his palette knife and his brush to create his luscious textural paintings that have an intuitive freshness. A palette knife is a great way to build up thick texture and create broken color effects, while the brush helps on lost and found edges. See how to use a variety of knife shapes to make bold strokes and use the edge of the knife to create sharp lines. He will demonstrate how to paint on top of wet layers without lifting the paint below and how to load multiple colors onto the knife, laying those colors down without over blending. 


    Howard Park’s received his formal art education at Tufts University, The School of the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston, and at L’Ecole Nationale D’Art Decoratif, Nice, France. Howard Park is the founder of the Noank 9, a group of painters who meet to paint on site “en plein air” each week. When not out in the field or teaching, Howard spends much of his time painting in his studio painting his modern-impressionistic oil paintings and watercolors of the landscapes and maritime scenes that he loves. He owns HGPark Fine Art focusing on conservation, restoration and appraisals of fine art including original oil paintings, works on paper, objects, etchings, murals, and antique frames. 


    He is a signature member of the American Society of Marine Artists (ASMA) and is an award-winning member of the New England Watercolor Society.  His works hang in galleries and private collections throughout the world.
