Meet Susan Gunn
Our Featured Artist for March
Susan is a new member of the Longmont Artists' Guild. A longtime resident of Boulder County and Longmont, Susan has just recently joined the Longmont art community and has opened a working studio in the Old Town Marketplace, 332 Main Street, in the Art District.
"I've painted as a hobby most of my life. I work in watercolor and oils, and love to paint landscapes, flowers and portraits."
In painting portraits, I learned an adaptation of the Mische Technique. This method of painting creates an effect where light reflects from within the painting. It makes possible for great refinement of detail and a rich ethereal quality.
