COMMENT REGARDING PAINTING LESSONS:
“ Of all the teachers I have had no one has been like you. You are my idea of the perfect instructor. You offer just the right amount of help, your critiques are gentle and constructive, you are open to your student's opinions and requests and you allow for their own personal creativity. What could be better?
I was told that I was given a very high compliment from a well respected artist. All I can ever tell people is that YOU are the reason why. I sincerely mean it, too. I will forever be indebted to you for what you have done for me! Thank you, Lilli, from the bottom of my heart!!!” Gaye Sekula

LILLI PELL - OIL PAINTER
Lilli graduated from the University of Houston at Clear Lake in 1992 with a Master of Arts in Visual Art. Since that time she has established a studio in Wimberley, Texas, where she paints in oil and teaches classes. Her interest lies primarily in landscape, animal, and figure painting. A member of OPA and numerous other art organizations, Lilli is represented by several galleries and continues to explore the world of oil painting, knowing that there is always another challenge around the corner.
She paints realistically but with an eye to capturing mood and light in her paintings using loose brushwork and strongly contrasting values.

Working with different oil painting mediums also contributes to keeping Lilli's work energized. To work in oil mixed with wax and then applying heat to the painted surface (encaustic) is a way to achieve texture as well as impart a richness of color to the surface. The serendipitous results using this medium are invigorating. Working back and forth from one technique to the other stimulates creativity and encourages new and interesting ways of using oil paints.
