June 2007 Meeting
Guest Demonstrator: Bruce Trentham
Bruce Trentham dramatically conveys his love of the ocean and it’s environs in his pastel paintings. Primarily a plein air painter of the Southern California coastal area, he strives to develop a composition that invites the viewer to experience light, color and form.
Early training in mediums such as oils, acrylics, ceramics and printmaking led him to realize his passion for pastels. He has educated himself in the complexities of the medium and with inherent ability skillfully communicates his love for color in his paintings.
Bruce is currently painting Plein Air the Malibu Coast and the Santa Monica Mountains. He is available for individual instruction,workshops and demonstrations in Plein Art drawing and painting.
Bruce has conducted demos for the Burbank, Glendale, Malibu and Santa Clarita Art Associations. His paintings may be seen at continuing exhibitions at the Law Offices of Shapiro, Rodarte & Feldman in Santa Monica and The Frame Gallery in Agoura Hills.
