Erin Dertner, watercolor on paper, framed. A snippet of a favorite view out of Erin's window at her favorite time of day, the colors of sunset glow behind eucalyptus trees overlooking the ocean. Image size 5 inches by 8 inches, framed size 14.5 inches by 17.5 inches.
A long-time Mendocino plein air artist, Erin is proficient in oils with a palette knife, oils with brushes, watercolors, and acrylics.
Painting, studying and teaching the subject of light is Erin’s driving force. The cool shadows of the early morning and those that fall long and warm in the evening enliven her creative soul as nothing else. Subject matter is secondary to the sunlight itself, though her locations speak volumes about God’s wondrous world of color, drama and mystery.
