Book Signing & Painting Demo with Robert Meredith
to
ArtTrends Gallery 3305 Frederica Road, Saint Simons Island, Georgia 31522
On October 10, ArtTrends Gallery will host a book signing from 4:00-5:00 p.m. and painting demonstration at 5:00 p.m. for artist Robert Meredith, celebrating the publication of his new book, The Art of Oil Painting. In his book, Meredith describes in clear and non-technical language the materials and techniques used by artists since the invention of oil painting, and how they can be used by today’s artists to simplify their methods and paint better pictures. Meredith’s subjects range from portraits to landscapes to still lifes, but his specialty is trompe l’oeil, or “fool the eye” realism. His realistic representations can be found in Georgia mansions, Manhattan offices, and homes across the country. His cover painting “Studio Mirror” was the 2022 winner of the prestigious Metro Media Competition at the Marietta Cobb Museum of Art.
