About Andrew Busch

I paint loose, expressive, Impressionist landscapes. Working primarily with acrylic, the quick-drying paint allows me to add a number of layers to a painting in a timeframe that I find difficult to do with oils. I use palette knives to add and subtract from the painting—exploring texture, mark-making, and subtle color variations.
 
My inspiration comes from the beauty of Colorado’s mountain streams and Southwest skies. I want to communicate both the visual essence of the scenery and my emotional connection with the land. By intentionally leaving certain details open to interpretation, I encourage viewers to actively engage with the artwork. I invite the viewer into an experience, and possibly, to find their own story within the work.

I paint on location year-round as long as the temperatures are above freezing. I've learned the hard way that acrylic freezes instead of dries when it's too cold. My outside paintings inform my larger studio works.
