Artist of the Month - Robert Sefton
“You’ll
never be a real artist, but maybe you could become an illustrator and paint
beer ads someday.”
As
a high school student, I got that advice from an art professor at Carnegie
Mellon University. Growing up in Pittsburgh, I had been receiving weekly art
instruction through the Carnegie Institute since I was in the fifth grade.
Drawing has always been part of who I am. Nevertheless, I never seriously
considered art as a career.
I got my degree in Chemistry, and as luck would have it, landed a job in the industrial paint industry. I soon found myself making automobile paint in Detroit. I got a good basic education in pigments, resins and solvents. I also had an introduction to color measurement, the science of color vision, and how color is perceived as a marketing tool in consumer products.
Retirement gave me the time for art work, but it wasn’t until I discovered the great studio facilities and education programs of our All About Art Club that I really got fired up about improving my art work.
I don’t expect to become a “professional grade” artist. After all, you wouldn’t expect to become a professional level musician or golfer without thousands of hours of dedicated practice. For me, the All About Art club provides a near perfect opportunity to work in a supportive and content-rich environment. It is great fun also.
