Azaleas and Oranges

Unlike other videos in the "In the Studio With...." series, this program was not filmed in Robert Johnson’s personal studio, due to logistical limitations by so much video equipment. Instead, it was filmed entirely in Liliedahl Fine Art Studio, which enabled us to give the artist and the production crew sufficient area to work and provide the viewer with the best view possible. This in-depth program is the latest in our series of living master artists entitled "In the Studio With......Robert A. Johnson". Filmed over five days, it has been edited to include all the verbal content and exceptional painting process of this modern master. Edited by Johnnie Liliedahl, a professional working artist, you are assured that everything you want to see from an artist's viewpoint is included in this program.

Artists frequently paint objects close to their hearts that ultimately become uniquely linked to that painter. Robert Johnson is no exception. He has embraced the characteristics of the oriental rug and includes it in many of his works. Frequently asked of his techniques, here, he explains and demonstrates how to capture the textures, symmetry and colorful patterns in an almost effortless style.

This is a rare and perhaps unprecedented opportunity to witness the step by step, stroke by stroke creation of an award winning painting.
