News release
The Santa Clarita Artists Association is scheduled Monday, July 21, to host a free live painting demonstration by award-winning plein air artist Richard Gallego as he demonstrates advanced gouache painting techniques.
The event, open to the public, is scheduled to begin 6:30 p.m. in the community room at Barnes & Noble, 23630 Valencia Blvd., Valencia.
Gallego’s artistic journey spans nearly three decades, during which he has developed what he calls “my magnificent affliction” – an obsessive dedication to capturing natural landscapes through paint, said a news release from the nonprofit SCAA.
The demonstration will explore gouache’s unique properties as both a traditional and innovative medium. Gallego’s recent projects include his 2023 public art installation at Palmdale City Library, where he created permanent landscape murals showcasing regional scenery.
