Charles Newman Paints At The Dock For The Cape Ann Plein Air Event In Town This Week

Posted on by Joey Ciaramitaro

About Charles Newman: https://charlesnewmanarts.com/home.html

I am an experiential artist. I seek to capture an experience or sensation in my artwork, so that the painting is felt. Painting on site, en plein air (outdoors), I strive to understand the effects of light and the moods and emotions it evokes from my surroundings. Many of my works are done alla prima, which means wet into wet, mostly completed in one session in order to achieve a fresh and harmonious representation of light.

The subject matter of my paintings ranges from overlooked industrial neighborhoods to the privacy of the home. Whether painting a landscape, an interior, or a still life, I strive to express the integrity of my personal touch, as I bear witness to the moment and changing conditions of my surroundings. Translating these elements onto the surface makes the painting process both challenging and exciting.

Cape Ann Plein Air’s (CAPA) mission is to preserve and promote Cape Ann’s legacy as the birthplace of American Plein Air painting, and enhance our local economy.

No matter what the result of this is, being Nominated for a RAMAE Award is a honor as a retailer in MA. Organizing women business owners for our #womentowmen donation drive for our #womeninactiveduty🇺🇸 was amazing. Being a Woman Owned Business for 20years only happens because of Family, Customers and Community.
