Mary Rose O’Connell
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
