CAA’s Artist of the Month: Rose Scaglione
Artist Statement: Although I have been drawing, painting, crafting, etc. for most of my life, my love of watercolor began when I took a class many years ago in Chinese Brush Painting. Learning the way the watercolor and brush strokes work together has given me so much pleasure over the years. I have been fortunate to have learned this medium through taking workshops with some of the best teachers in this field and also through the encouragement of my family and friends. Joining Community Arts Association over 30 years ago gave me so many opportunities to learn, enjoy and share the wonderful world of creating art.
