Cherree Mallette has a B. A. in Drawing and Painting and an Associates Degree in Visual Communications. She uses her talent to express herself in the art of dry brush painting. The Art of Dry Brush painting is one of the most demanding art forms, requiring patience and an obsession for detail, quality and perfection. It is unforgiving, one wrong stroke becomes a flaw, causing the artist to start all over again. The detail and realism is a cross between a photograph and a two dimensional object. The dry brush process works with oil straight from the tube without any solvents. It is applied ever so lightly, directly on acid free board, repeating the application over and over to bring out the tones and values necessary to achieve a photo realism effect. It takes months of dedication and painstaking care to produce a work of fine art.
