Current Inventory Taman VanScoy watercolor gouache paintings of nature, landscape, california Artist Taman VanScoy Born in 1979 in Santa Barbara California, and raised in the San Fernando Valley of Southern California, the imagery surrounding Taman as a child consisted primarily of cityscapes with the occasional glimpse of a sun-drenched desert climate. Being instinctively drawn to nature yet lacking the visual stimulation of wide-open colorful landscapes, he unconsciously began to idealize landscape compositions and color combinations in his mind. In essence he would create an imaginary and almost dreamlike scene which to this day continues to be the first step when creating his paintings. Taman attended a Waldorf school from kindergarten through high school graduation where he studied in an environment that focuses on a child being a unique individual encouraged to explore his or her own creative potential. He then attended two different junior colleges until deciding to focus completely on art and obtain a Bachelors in Art from California State University Long Beach. ​ Taman started his professional art career at the end of 2002 when he entered his first art show. Process: Using various wet and dry brush techniques, watercolor and Gouache paint are applied to a thick paper board. Transparent layers of paint applied with varying degrees of thickness allow for a texture and contrast not typically seen with watercolors all the while keeping the inherent subtle qualities. Materials: --100% acid free archival, ph neutral hot press board --Graham watercolor paints and white Gouache made of the finest pigments. Made with pure honey (used extensively throughout the history of art as an ingredient in water based colors of all types) gum Arabic, glycerin and the most lightfast pigments available. --Custom made hardwood frames made from Alder, Walnut, Mahogany or Poplar wood. Linen wrapped wood liner or archival 8 ply matte board with anti reflective UVLS glass.By utilizing the subtle qualities of the medium, Taman creates minimal landscape scenes that capture the mysterious qualities of nature. ​
