Featured Artist – Michael Van Heuklon
Michael’s featured creation is titled: “Early Arrivals”
Michael painted this 9×12 watercolor painting of a pair of Trumpeter Swan from a photograph that he took last year. Trumpeter Swans are one of the earliest waterfowls to arrive in his home state of Wisconsin in the spring.
Featured Artist – Michael Van Heuklon
Currently, Michael expresses his creativity in Watercolors, Photography, and Wood Burning on Tree Fungus.
Michael started painting with Watercolors a few years ago after painting with Acrylics for many years. Now, he enjoys Watercolors the most. Plus, it helps that the majority of Michael’s work is painted and drawn from photographs that he takes with his Nikon camera and 150-600 lens.
Michael enjoys bringing his artwork to life and he does so with as much detail as possible. For example in his watercolors, Michael works to emphasize each individual bird feather and he shares them on full display.
Plus, Michael works in great detail on the eyes. He has always been told that if he gets the eye right the rest of his wildlife painting will follow.
Michael also does wood burning on tree fungus. One day he observed the fungus growing on the trees and thought that he could try wood burning on the flat area. Now in retrospect, Michael says that out of all his artwork he has sold more of his wood burnings than any other art medium.
Michael’s tidbit of advice to other artisans is: “Challenge yourself to try different things. Draw every day even if it is just something small or something simple.”
