Luminosity – Under the Umbrian Sun

For a number of years Marian Dunn wrote and hosted a PBS program on Arts and the Humanities, called “Experiencing Art”. The show encouraged interest in all the arts and the creative process and Marian brings that passion to La Romita for the sixth time this spring. Luminosity is her specialty in various mediums and her emphasis when she teaches. She will provide insights into painting the beautiful hill towns and is looking forward to sharing her years of experience with beginners and veterans alike. Students are invited to bring their choice of mediums and Marian will provide suggestions for traveling artist materials.

We can get an idea of what Marian will bring to La Romita from her mission statement, “Art has always been a primary factor in my life, even as a child. I was an art major in college with the help of two art scholarships. Since then I’ve never quit studying, traveling with and going to seminars and workshops with some of the finest artists in the US and abroad. I’ve never quit feeling the compulsion to paint. I love drawing, printmaking, painting in watercolor, oil, acrylic, pastel (recently adding encaustic) on location or in my studio… put plainly, creating. Luminosity is the greatest goal in my work, no matter in what media and can help us to capture a single figure, animals, people at work or at play, the interplay of light and shadow in a landscape or a still life.”
