Speaker’s name: Igor Kogan Igor Kogan Speaker’s webpage: https://www.saatchiart.com/igorkogan Bio: Living and working in Gilbert, Arizona, I find endless inspiration in the raw beauty and cultural richness of the American Southwest. Arizona’s natural and cultural landscapes are not just subjects—they are collaborators in my work. I have exhibited in galleries and museums abroad, and have been juried into shows across the state. My work has been collected by private collectors in Europe and the United States.Watercolor is my chosen medium, its fluid nature allows me to translate emotion into form with spontaneity and clarity. Each brushstroke is intuitive, capturing fleeting moments, and changing qualities of light. My art journey started in the 90’s when I was graduated from the Fine Arts College in Ukraine, in 1996 I graduated from a Design College. I am living in Arizona and it is a great place for me to continue my artistic pursuits. Having shown in a few art galleries and museums abroad, I was also juried to enter and exhibit my artworks at local AZ galleries. Some of my artworks are features at art collections across Europe and US. Title of presentation: Loose watercolor Description of presentation: Let’s paint the Red Mountain landscape with watercolor, focusing on big shapes. I’ll demonstrate how I use washes, soft/hard edges to create depth, the wet-on-wet technique while painting water, dry-brush work to paint a mountain, and more. Attaching my reference photo.
