Join us on January 28, 2020 at the San Luis Obispo UMC, 1515 Fredericks St. Map link is below.

Ingrid Brink has a BA in Art from Humboldt State University and teaching credentials. Instead of becoming an art teacher, she worked in the schools as an artist-in-residence which allowed and required her to have an active role as a professional artist, entering shows and taking workshops. Ingrid is a Signature Member of the National Watercolor Society.

As an artist, she loves process, and let-ting the pigment do what it wants. The fun is not knowing or controlling what will happen 

as she works with colors that  flow, granulate, glow and contrast, letting the paint have “a mind if its own.” She then explores composition: balancing 

darks, lights, line, shape, textures, eventually finding its way to a sense of place. If she succeeds, she keeps her creation as a one piece painting.

If the painting just doesn’t speak to her, ripping, tearing and recreating ensue. Ingrid will share what happens next at our January meeting.
