Dee Ross / ARTIST RESUME
I prefer to work Plein-Air or from life, as well as in the studio situation. I enjoy drawing and painting landscape and animals. I have also reignited an interest in life drawing. Drawing what I love and subjects that I have a connection with, will hopefully show through in my artwork. I regularly visit Art Galleries and I have an interest in illustration.
'Painting is not only to copy the object, but to seize harmony between numerous relations' ... Paul Cezanne
MEDIUM
I mainly work in Soft Pastel, Acrylic Paint, Charcoal and Conte. In recent years I have also worked in Chinese Ink Painting, Watercolour and 35mm Photography. I use archival art materials and framing whenever possible.
