Through the prism of his own mood, ardent and vivid love for the animal world and nature that surrounds us, the American artist looks at the world Dean Crouser … Perfectly mastering the technique of watercolor painting, as well as being an emotional and enthusiastic person, he creates appropriate pictures. On his canvases flaunt animals and birds, painted in all colors of the rainbow, but at the same time they all look natural, without reference to fantastic fairy tales and outlandish worlds. Dean Cruiser since childhood was an avid tourist, preferring to relax in student campgrounds in the middle of the forest, go fishing, watch birds and small animals. Today the artist lives in Oregon, which is famous for its picturesque places in the bosom of nature, and does not miss the opportunity to go for a walk in the forest, park, or city square. Or even go out of town to the reserve in order to be saturated with that life-giving inspiration that helps him to create, suggesting ideas, images, and also nourishes him emotionally. After such forays, transparent, thin, but bright and juicy strokes of watercolor paint fall on the canvas, gradually forming into drawings of birds, trees, flowers, animals.
The airiness and lightness characteristic of watercolors is harmoniously combined with deliberately careless strokes, blots and splashes of multi-colored paints on the canvas. And images that are close and pleasant to the heart of a naturalist, smooth lines, iridescent stains on paper provide a mood that is appropriate for the moment. Sunny, when you look at the motley birds, brooding when you contemplate an eagle or an owl made in dark colors, and a little disturbing when you see a bear's head talentedly painted in watercolors right in front of you.
Not only flying and land animals become the objects of creative works of the American watercolorist. He draws fishes, flowers, berries and other gifts of nature just as talentedly and easily, and you can see this on Dean Crouser's website.
