November’s Demo Artist is Ujjaini Grigg – Oil Florals

Texas resident Ujjaini Grigg is an oil painter of realism with an impressionistic style. Her past long career in Interior Design and construction made it easy for her to transition into the world of painting as she finds common design principles of maintaining sound structure along with visual beauty, being common grounds for both art forms. Ujjaini likes her paintings to carry a sense of spontaneity and movement with careful color choices and energetic brushwork. She paints mainly All Prima from life whenever possible, particularly for still life and landscape paintings. You can view her work mostly on Instagram and Facebook.

Our Demo Artist For October is Susan Johnston – Acrylic Landscapes

Hey there, I’m Sarah Johnston, a visual artist with a passion for acrylic painting and video editing. For the past two years, I’ve been sharing my creations on social media, and now I’m thrilled to have over 1.8 million followers! I believe that art can be a powerful source of tranquility and serenity in an often-chaotic world. When I paint, I pour my heart and soul into every brushstroke, hoping that it will bring a sense of calm to those who view it. Come join me on this artful journey!
