6 Comments on Gurney Journey: Olana Eye Shows Famous View
Am grateful I was finally able to visit Olana last October, after first hearing about it in 1969 while sitting in a University of Michigan History of Art class, taught by David Huntington. Prof. Huntington was passionate about Frederic Church and Olana. He spearheaded the effort to "save" Olana when its future was precarious. "
Thank you, Denise"
Do you have a video for sale that demonstrates the basics of painting with gouache?
Thank you,
