CAA’s Artist of the Month: Rose Scaglione
Although I have done some type of art or craft since I was young, I have been working primarily in watercolor for the past 25 years. I’ve been fortunate to take workshops and lessons from some of the most prominent watercolorists of our time. I really love the way Watercolor moves on the paper and I enjoy experimenting with different techniques. It’s always an exciting journey to discover new pigments and learn how I can grow as an artist.
I encourage everyone, no matter what your medium is, to explore something new and outside your comfort zone. Happy painting!
