Exploring Impressionism with Albert Huie at Little Ashcan 🎨✨

This past week at Little Ashcan, we’ve been inspired by the legendary Jamaican artist Albert Huie, a key figure in the Rastafari Art Movement.

‘The Blue Pitcher’ - Albert Huie (1920-2010) (Prev. Cider House Galleries)

Known for his bold impressionistic portraits, Huie’s use of thick brushstrokes and palette knife marks captured the essence of his subjects. This week, our Little Ashcan artists dove into his techniques, creating their own impressionistic portraits with a focus on a single facial feature—eyes, nose, or mouth. 👁️👃💋

Our Students in Action:

  • Impressionistic Portraits: Little Ashcan artists are experimenting with textured brushstrokes and vibrant colors, just like Huie! 🎨🖌️

  • Focus on Features: From lips 💋 to eyes 👁️, our students are capturing emotions through color and texture.

  • Art Materials: Using acrylic paints on canvas, students are layering colors to create dynamic, textured effects. 🌈🖼️

We’re so proud of our talented students! If you’re ready to explore your artistic side, join us at Ashcan Studio! ✨
