INSTRUCTOR: ERIC MATRANGA
This is a one day class working with gouache pigment on black paper.

The enhanced pop of using the intense pigment on a black background is accompanied by numerous examples. All materials will be provided by the instructor and participants will produce a finished composition during the session. The gouache paintings feature vivid color and stunning contrasts on the black paper.

From an early age, art has been Eric’s method to heal and seek comfort. His art matured over the last several years, and he credits much of that from the investigation of the color theory of Johann Wolfgang von Goethe. Goethe went beyond the linear science of Isaac Newton’s visible spectrum to investigate what is seen in the shadows but defies direct measurement.
Not everything can be measured, analyzed, and described in scientific terms. Art is more than science and often defies description and measurement. Eric’s art is about harmony and reaches the soul in ways that can’t always be quantified or pinned down. View his portfolio at: zhibit.org/ericartist.
