Lucinda is an award-winning, California-native artist (born and raised in the San Francisco Bay Area). Art has always been at the center of Lucinda's life. "As a child I enjoyed drawing from nature to become familiar with graceful lines, form and space. I am also very conscious of composition, shapes, lighting, and values from my photography education" she says. Through self-taught studies and workshops with professional artists in a wide array of mediums, art has always been a way for me to share California's unique personality and vistas. Lucinda began experimenting with oils in 2020 and shared "I approach an oil painting with a similar thought process to painting with soft pastels." When painting a landscape on canvas she first primes the canvas with warm undertones. Additional layers are next added dark-to-light. Using a palette knife she first mixes the correct values on the palette, and then proceeds to paint/blend colors on the canvas (wet-on-wet) or layer glaze with brushes.
