Student Stories: Andres Cabanos
Andres Cabanos, one of Southern California’s “30 Under 30” artists at the Santa Paula Museum, credits New Masters Academy with transforming his technical abilities and artistic vision. His featured painting, Mark, inspired by the work of Joaquín Sorolla, showcases the “alla prima” technique, a skill he honed at NMA through our rigorous study of master painters.
〝Because I spent my time to understand the basics, I can now focus on the jazz, creating and expressing myself with much more clarity and ease.〞
