Figurative in Landscape
Oil
All Levels
CAW is privileged to have Qiang Huang (pronounced Chong Wong) return to Cloudcroft from Austin, Texas. This year he will focus more on landscapes than still life. Qiang’s paintings are known for their remarkable accuracy and expressive brush strokes. Utilizing his training in the technical fields, his teaching is well organized, informative, and easy to follow. Many artists have attended his workshops multiple times, and have seen significant progress in their own art.
With this workshop, Qiang will introduce his approaches of adding figures into landscape. The workshop will emphasize on how to get the correct proportion of human forms into a landscape environment. Qiang will introduce his general strategies of landscape painting so student can make story telling paintings in an expressive style. Reference photos will be used. The workshop is designed for beginner and intermedium level artists
Qiang Huang was born and raised in Beijing China and now lives in Austin, Texas. His interest in art developed at a young age, strongly influenced by his uncle, a professional painter and art educator. He moved to America in 1985, obtained a Ph.D. in physics in 1993, and embarked on a career in optical engineering. He remains active in local art communities. In the summer of 2012, Qiang attended the graduate school of the Academy of Art University in San Francisco, and studied with well-known figurative artist, Zhaoming Wu.
Qiang is a guest artist with the Putney Painters, and has painted multiple times with the modern masters of representational art, Richard Schmid and Nancy Guzik. He is a Signature Member of the Oil Painters of America. Qiang is represented by the InSight Gallery in Fredericksburg, the Capital Fine Art Gallery in Austin, and the Marta Stafford Fine Art Gallery in Marble Falls, Texas.
Qiang’s still life work was featured in Southwest Art magazine in March, 2011. American Artist Magazine featured his art and teaching in the 2009 summer issue of the “Workshop” Magazine and his art was featured again in the April 2014 Artist Magazine.
