Welcome to my video library. These videos explore my process for painting landscape, seascape, and still life paintings. The fundamental principles involved in building a painting are repeated throughout each lesson. The design, drawing, value, color, and edge relationships within the artwork combine to make a strong composition.

It has been a pleasure to demonstrate, teach classes, share ideas, and host workshops throughout the years. Presenting lessons online is a new venture for me and I encourage your feedback and questions.

I look forward to sharing more videos in the months ahead. Approximately every two months I plan to present a new two hour live demonstration with questions and answers. Additionally, I plan to post new instructional videos twice a month going forward, all of which will be added to the permanent library of videos on my page on Epiphany Fine Art.

Warm regards,
Mary Rose

She paints in her studio and en plein air in a representational style. Classically trained in the Boston School Tradition, her work shows a strong grounding in composition and design combined with the color and light of the 19th century Impressionists.
Along with being a national award-winning artist, Mary Rose was a past recipient of the Charles Family Foundation, Cape Ann Museum, Copley Society of Art Fellowship. Mary Rose is a juried artist member of the Copley Society of Art, the North Shore Arts Association, and the Rockport Art Association.

In addition to the technical aspects, the classes focus on color, value, and edge relationships within the paintings. She conducts workshops throughout the United States and in Europe.
