Artist
Randy's paintings are traditional in approach and subject matter. Randy's main focus is the use of light, atmosphere and perspective to create a work that draws the viewer in, captures a brief moment on the busy city street or holds forever a moment of natures magnificence.
As an award winning artist, Randy works both en plein air and in his studio to create paintings capturing the New England countryside, coastal settings and the urban landscape. Currently Randy's work is focused both in pastel and oil.
Randy began painting in 1996. He entered the degree program and Notre Dame College in Manchester, NH and graduated in 2002 with a BA in Fine Arts with a concentration in design and Illustration. He began showing his work in 2001. Currently, his work can be found at East Colony Fine Art in Manchester, NH

Demonstration
"Architectural Elements with Simple Strokes in Oil"
Artist Randy Knowles will be demonstrating in oil. He will capture a brief moment on a busy street or country road highlighting architectural elements, overlaying elements and shadows to create a strong composition. He will show step by step how he lays in the perspective drawing, blocks in an under painting using warm complimentary colors and then moves into the final piece pushing dark and light values.
