The Colorist is a newsletter format artist's blog featuring fine art, the artist blogging community, my own art, art history and ideas about art. You may enjoy reading art essays, see what contemporary artists are doing, and explore my own pastel landscapes in the New School Color style.

I am Casey Klahn, a fine artist from Washington State. My profile can be found here.

Biographic statement:

Casey Klahn is an American artist whose landscapes and figures are strong, vibrant and emotive. Working in various drawing media, such as pastel, charcoal and graphite, his pictures are dynamic and yet they provide an emotional renewal at the same time. Often surprising in the use of colors, his palette is up-to-the-minute. His visual ideas continue the explosion in art that began over a century ago with Modern painters such as Cezanne, van Gogh and Matisse.
