David's art is an exploration of the beauty in all things. Using bold color and line, he often paints portraits and figures that blend both distortion and elegance. His goal is to show people that even the ugly can be lovely. David loves the energy that the Art Battle brings and finds that being watched is actually freeing and empowering./sf

What did you learn about your own artistic passions by watching the artists paint tonight? I would love to hear from you. Come say hi!

A friend of a former contestant, Christian was inspired to try the battle herself. And now she is here for the second time! She “enjoys caricature work” as well as painting “nature, animals, and landscape” imagery in their studio practice. /sf

This time around I have a teammate painting with me, being 30 weeks pregnant! It's not really an advantage though!

Rob likes to paint nature, some abstract, some realism. He is fascinated by what makes us like abstracts but also appreciates realism skills. He enjoys to draw, paint and like to pour acrylics to create abstracts.
He is looking forward to the challenge of speed painting./sf

This will be my first (or second?) time scheduled to paint at an event.
Looking forward to it.
I have attended and it is lots of fun, with the pressure cooker time limit!

I am mostly self taught, and like a lot of styles and mediums.
I will have to pick one that is workable in the 20 minutes - not easy!
Enjoy the event!
