7:15 - 9 pm:  Demonstration

Our demonstrator will be a remarkable photo-realist watercolor artist from Mississippi.  Laurin McCracken combines many of the skills he learned as an architect with his experiences of studying art history, drawing, taking photographs and visiting many of the world’s leading museums to use as a watercolorist.  His paintings have been included in multiple shows in China and included in many publications, both national and international.

From his artist's statement:

I am a realist watercolorist whose work is largely influenced by the Dutch and Flemish Still Life painters of the 16th and 17th Centuries.

My goal is to record the world around me with a high level of detail. This is not a painting style that is typically associated with the medium of watercolor. Look closely at one of my painting and you will not only see the objects in the paintings, but you will also see reflections of other objects within the very objects I paint.
