A course by Marcelo Rochá @artrocha
Marcelo Rocha is a Brazilian painter specializing in oil and plein air paint. After working for many years as an IT executive, he decided to study painting at Plein Air Studio in Brazil and The Art Students League in the United States. Nowadays, he dedicates himself exclusively to art and is the author of hundreds of canvases made to order and scattered throughout private collections in America, Europe and Asia.
With a realistic style, Marcelo portrays people and pets with marked brushstrokes and interesting pictorial effects. His passion for painting pets started with his own dog, a Paulistin fox named Sheik. After a first try, he realized he could be happy in that niche.
