Sunday Artist Demo at the Columns

Posted

MILFORD, PA — Pike County Arts and Crafts (PCAC) will hold its first Sunday Artist Demo with painter Dennis Fanton on Sunday, May 3 at 1:30 p.m. in the Foundation Room at the Columns Museum, 608 Broad St.

Fanton attended the Newark School of Fine and Industrial Arts in the late ‘60s and later at the DuCret School of Art with a focus in advertising. His path took a sudden detour with Vietnam and enlistment in the Navy as a corpsman followed by a career in the medical field as a RN. After later moving to Orange County, he became involved with a group of painters instructed by Lisa Specht, an instructor at the New York Art Students League.

Joining the Wallkill River School had afforded him the opportunity to become involved with other talented artists in the area and to be a part of the plein air experience. He will demonstrate his technique of painting by starting with a pastel wash using alcohol followed by pastel on top. He stains the pastel board this way with complimentary colors and proceeds by applying the next layer of oil paint on top.

The public is invited to watch art being made and learn about the techniques and mediums that artists evolve to make their own individual expression. The members of PCAC provide refreshments for the event, and it is free to attend.
