"New England Wreck" - Original Watercolor 1991 - Dennis Chadra (1942-)
Condition: Excellent. Unmatted and Unframed. 14” x 10”

Dennis Chadra started to oil paint in 1970 for an art appreciation and humanities' course project at Southwest College.

Art Education:
1980 was the major turning point in his style due to studying several years thereafter under Wes Berrier, a traditionalist who paints in Rembrandt's technique. Dennis has also studied under Professor Chang Li of Beijing, China who paints in the French Impressionistic style.

He has studied under Romel de la Torre, a prior student of Richard Schmid, in Portrait Painting. He has also studied under David Hettinger and Julian Gilbert. He has documented the art techniques of Chang Li and the late Joseph DeVelasco (b.1933-d.1999). Since 2000, Dennis has attended David A. Leffel annual workshops in still life and portrait painting.
