Painting Nocturnes

The Doylestown Art League and The Phillips' Mill Community Association are pleased to co-sponsor a talk and demonstration by renowned artist Joe Gyurcsak on a new direction in his artistic career. He will be talking about the challenging task of capturing the atmosphere of a nocturnal scene with its light and dark contrasts, and how to interpret various color lighting situations. Design, value, color temperature and location set up will be key points of his discussion and demonstration. Talking as he paints, you will see the tips and techniques he describes and demonstrates result in a finished painting. This will be offered for sale at the end of the demonstration, a portion of the sale of this painting will be donated to the The Phillips' Mill Community Association and the Doylestown Art League.

Mr. Gyurcsak paints a broad range of subject matter including interiors, still life, figure and landscape painting. He has a keen sense for capturing the essence of his subject matter with a bold and candid approach. He exhibits in galleries across the country his award winning paintings continue to pique the interest of collectors nationwide.

“My paintings express a sense of light, atmosphere and mood; they transcend the techniques that were employed to create them and breathe the very light and atmosphere they were painted in. I like to capture the fleeting moments of life; the sublime manifestations of light and color, their aesthetic influences on the subject.”
