Introducing Open Impressionism: Vol II, Featuring the Works of Erin Hanson
Click on the image above to view a short video of Erin Hanson personally introducing her new book, Open Impressionism: Volume II.
This hardbound coffee table book is an impressive artistic statement for any art lover's home or office. Open Impressionism Volume II offers 300 pages of sherbet mountains, violet hills, and kaleidoscope skies, as well as insider quotes and artist's statements.
"I have spent my life developing a unique style of painting that I call Open Impressionism. I started painting in oils when I was very young, about 8 years old. My style was actually inspired by rock climbing. I really like using lush, juicy brush strokes that jump off the canvas and really vivid, alive color that captures the emotion I feel when I am outdoors hiking and backpacking."
"You can see the kind of abstract shapes of the paint as they are layered onto the canvas.
"I want my paintings to capture the excitement of the landscapes I have discovered
and give the viewers a sense of peace and escape from ordinary life."
"I actually create my full range of colors using a limited palette. From only 4 or 5 different colors I can create hundreds of different tones and values."
"I hope this book inspires you to bring more color and beauty into your life."

About Erin
ERIN HANSON has been painting in oils since she was 8 years old. As a teenager, she apprenticed at a mural studio where she worked on 40-foot-long paintings while selling art commissions on the side. After being told it was too hard to make a living as an artist, she got her degree in Bioengineering from UC Berkeley. Afterward, Erin became a rock climber at Red Rock Canyon, Nevada. Inspired by the colorful scenery she was climbing, she decided to return to her love of painting and create one new painting every week.
She has stuck to that decision, becoming one of the most prolific artists in history, with over 3,000 oil paintings sold to eager collectors. Erin Hanson’s style is known as "Open Impressionism" and is taught in art schools worldwide. With millions of followers, Hanson has become an iconic, driving force in the rebirth of impressionism, inspiring thousands of other artists to pick up the brush.
