The new
high-definition series Passport & Palette™ represents the next
generation of art education on television and is presented to public
television stations nationwide at no cost.
Passport &
Palette™ invites viewers to see the world through the eyes of
acclaimed master artists, including en plein air painter Kevin
Macpherson, landscape and still life artist, Joe Anna Arnett, watercolor
specialist, James Asher and outdoor painter, Kenn Backhaus.
The 13-part series began airing on public television stations
nationwide in May 2009 (check with your local public television
stations for scheduled broadcasts).
Unlike other painting programs, Passport & Palette™
presents viewers with timeless principles of art using beautiful
subjects and destinations to illustrate these ideas. Even those who do
not paint will appreciate this classic and artistic way of seeing the
world.
Cameras follow the artists as they travel to picturesque locations in France,
Switzerland, Guatemala, Italy, Canada
and the United States, in the series' first season and select their painting subjects and create new works of art -
landscapes, still lifes and portraits. Episodes include tips and
insights about the choice of materials, composition, and methods of
capturing light, motion and mood. Along the way, the artists discuss
their unique approaches to their work, as well as their mental process,
influences and style.
