This scene is from the local foothills in Los Altos. It is done with watercolors first and then added color using soft pastel.I used a photograph for reference from my good friend James Snyder.

Robin Scholl
Robin Scholl has been painting in her Los Altos studio and at the Pacific Art League for more than 30 years. She is known for impressionistic landscapes with a focus on light and color in the natural world. She works from photographs taken during her wide travels and favorite California scenes, using four media: oils, watercolor, watercolor with pastel, and watercolor with gouache. Her signature layered technique builds up the media, creating movement and depth uncommon in watercolors. She is a veteran instructor at the Pacific Art League in Palo Alto and has a B.A. in studio art and a teaching credential in arts instruction from UCSB.
Robin’s work can be seen at the Pacific Art League, www.pacificartleague.org, in Palo Alto and at the Portola Art Gallery, www.portolaartgallery.com, in Menlo Park.
Her Pacific Art League classes in watercolor, oil media, and landscape drawing are popular favorites. She has been affiliated with galleries across the U.S., including Mona Berman Fine Arts (New Haven, CT), Corporate Art Directions (New York, NY), Andrea Schwartz Gallery (San Francisco, CA), Greenleaf Gallery (Saratoga, CA), and The Equinox (Chicago, IL). Her work has been commissioned for large scale by major corporations and recognized in three different statewide competitions at the Triton Museum of Art, as well as in juried shows at the Santa Cruz Art League and the Pacific Art League.
