A Burst of Color: Mike Major’s Art Demo at the Orange Art Association
This month’s Orange Art Association meeting was a vibrant celebration of creativity, highlighted by an inspiring demo from contemporary landscape artist Mike Major. Known for his bold and colorful pastel landscapes, Mike guided attendees through the process of capturing the beauty of coastal scenes filled with palm trees and breathtaking ocean sunsets.
As he began, the room filled with excitement and curiosity as Mike demonstrated his techniques, showcasing how to blend bright colors to evoke the warmth of a setting sun against a seascape. His energetic approach to the medium made it clear why he has garnered a following on social media, and for those new to pastels, it was a wonderful opportunity to see an artist at work.
What set this demo apart was Mike’s interactive approach. He invited every participant to step up, try their hand at the pastels, and add their own touch to the landscape art piece. From beginners to seasoned artists, many joined in the fun, bringing their unique flair to the canvas. Laughter and encouragement filled the air as participants explored the vibrant world of color and texture that pastels offer.
This demo was a wonderful reminder of the joy that comes from making art together and trying something new.
