PROGRAM - September 4, 2019 - TOM POOLE

Tom Schroeder introduced our guest speaker, Mr. Thomas Poole. Tom is a signature member of the Kentucky, Louisiana and Southern Watercolor Societies as well as the International Society of Acrylic Painters.

Tom's art has a strong emphasis on design and bold color. Through the years he has evolved toward a more realistic approach with mood and emotion. He strongly believes that art should be a continuous exploration, a continuous revelation that never stops telling you its secrets.

Tom showed us some techniques to use on yupo - as shown in the following photos.

His demonstration centered on his work with yupo paper and its spontaneity. Yupo seemed, to the audience, to be the perfect medium with which Tom should work.

We thank Tom Poole for his insight as well as his thoughtful demonstration of his talent.
