Sean McCusker will be demonstrating the techniques that make his work a unique fixture of the Berkshires arts scene. Landscapes full of contrast and color, his glazed oil paintings express a mysterious drama that is unmistakable.

Sean’s paintings are made up of roughly thirty thin, transparent layers, each one adding complexity. As the layers are carefully worked up the composition's forms and colors become more contrasted, more dramatic. The translucent layers create a glowing composition of dark shadows suspended in light.

For over 20 years Sean has developed his oil glazing technique and is excited to share with you all of the tips and tricks that have helped him hone his craft. Each session will show the development of a new layer on a work in progress, so participants can see the work develop from sketch to finished work of art.

Demonstrations start at 1pm every Sunday from October 5th to December 21st, 2025.
