The Doylestown Art League monthly meeting is at 7:30pm on the first Thursday of the month and is held at the James Lorah Auditorium on Broad Street in Doylestown. Monthly meetings are free and open to the public. Featured at the meetings are guest artist speakers who talk about their work process, their techniques and their inspirations.
Our speaker tonight is Alexandra Schnabel whose topic is “Participating with the Visual World: playfulness, reverence, and curiosity”.
Alexandra’s works involve embarking upon an all prima painting, often plein air, with fresh intuition and curiosity. She will give a demonstration of her technique of oil painting.
She will discuss and explore her process, which considers the material, the technical, and the conceptual development of a painting, to expose the sense of curious navigation and the endless quick choices an artist must make.
Alexandra Schnabel is an oil painter currently based in Bucks County, Pennsylvania. She first embarked on her journey with oil paint at an early age, engaging from the start with an active plein air practice. From loose interpretive nocturnes to composed studio paintings utilizing symbolism and intentional color, her work explores the intersection of external lived experience and individual interpretation. Alexandra’s paintings center their focus on process, each piece a unique and active experience, a discerning engagement with how we experience and translate the visual world.
