This website is a work in progress. You may see on-going refinements until we have it all looking perfect!

Susan Harrison-Tustain has been painting "forever". At the age of three she remembers drawing - crayon in hand - on her newly painted bedroom wall. Her exhibitions now see patrons from throughout New Zealand and many countries attend these much awaited events.

Susan's original oil paintings and watercolor paintings of figurative, still life, floral (particularly rose paintings), portrait studies, as well as time-worn interior scenes, aged doors and window studies, are painted with a great sensitivity to her subject. Her work captures an emotion and a connection that often remains in the memories of the viewers of her work.  

A note from Susan:

Welcome to my website. It has specifically been designed for lovers of fine art and also for artists who wish to extend their knowledge and passion for painting in a naturalistic realism style.

My new site is divided into three sections:

Fine Art Site

For Artists Site

News/Blog Site

There are many crossovers and numerous sections within each of these sites. It is easy to flick between them so you can enjoy a full and varied journey through my website.

Pull up a chair and enjoy exploring!

Fine Art Site

It is the beauty of everyday things that I find so compelling. Take a look at my new gallery of watercolor and oil paintings and you will see what I mean.

As my next exhibition approches, you will also find a 'sneak preview`' of my latest work in oil and watercolor in a special Exhibition 2011 preview section within the gallery. This will be updated as each painting is completed.

A hint of things to come:

This exhibition will feature many evocative subjects including bird paintings- some of endangered species, atmospheric interior scenes, a rustic door - it's history etched in the flaking paint, a young French girl on a bus - her thoughts so far away as she gazes through the condensation-covered glass, 'Liberty' -  a watercolor of a white dove. We gaze upward as she sits above us on an ancient stone window sill - her sanctuary. Watch this space for newly released exhibition 2011  pieces...

I love the notion that the 'For Artists site' will bring invaluable information for artists as well as access to a passionate community of painters in the SusanArt Forum for artists. Our forum Painting Challenges are a huge hit with artists. Not only a forum for watercolor artists - but also a forum for oil painting artists alike - the wealth of knowledge within is vast.

Also take time to visit the wide range of articles I have written for artists. You will find these in the FREE 'Art Lessons' section. Another excellent resource is the 'Publications and Press' section on the 'For Artists' Site. Numerous art book and art magazine covers, articles and features are to be found here.

The For Artist's Site is also the place you will find an introduction to my art instruction Watercolor DVDs including extensive insight into all that you will find on them, My Palette of hues, favorite Art materials, my Newsletters and archives, Free Painting Demonstrations, information about Watercolour Workshops, and not forgetting there is even a page of Video Clips for you all to pull up a comfortable chair, sit back and indulge yourself!

My Fine Art site has numerous features including sections dedicated to Biographical information and my credentials. This site also holds a list of my Exhibitions, Publications, Philosophy, Books, Art Events and Art Tours. And of course my aforementioned new Gallery and a gallery of my Fine art  lithograph and giclee prints is also there for you to enjoy exploring.

My Blog site is where you can read news, painting hints and tips, new discoveries, demonstrations, upcoming events and all information as it is written and comes to hand -  you will find what is happening - as it is happening!  I will post numerous images with each of the stories as well as a few painting subjects that I know will interest you to paint for yourself. In time this will become a great resource for subject matter too. I envisage it to be a fountain of inspiration for you all.

There is also the opportunity to subscribe to my blog where you will be updated when something new is posted. This way you won't miss out on anything new and interesting.

So welcome - think of this as 'your place' to indulge in all things art!
Susan
