Bradley Kaskin
has been working with watercolor, oil and pen & ink for
over half a century.  He
graduated from the National Art Academy in Washington, D.C.
After trying his hand at display design for some of Washington’s
leading department stores and fashion boutiques, he settled
into teaching art and finally decided that he would specialize
in watercolor.
Going
against all conventional watercolor tradition Bradley
found that his style became heavy and rich in color, much
like oil painting. After years of painting landscapes
and still life’s he again challenged the tradition of
light and loose watercolor painting by creating his own
unusual technique of heavy, rich and colorful selections
of interesting faces, anatomy and other offerings.

His
oil paintings carry on the tradition of rich colors and textures
and are in the Traditional mode of painting. Bradley is quoted
as saying "if I paint a barn I want it to look like a
barn and not a butterfly". He enjoys mixing his brush
work with palette knife for maximum effect and continues to
follow his motto of "telling a story and setting a mood".
Unusual
as it may seem, he paints in two distinctly different styles.
If he feels the painting is of a serious nature, he will
use a traditional style. Yet a subject matter that is lighter
and fun will inspire an impressionistic offering. Bradley
often refers to himself as a “Storyteller with a brush”.
His paintings are available for you to own and enjoy.
