Brandon Gonzales has made fresh and significant contributions to the world of plein air painting and fine art. After graduating from Art Center College of Design, he has spent 10 years working as a matte painter and concept artist in the entertainment industry.

I enjoyed how there was great care in listening to each student’s concerns and goals. It was especially helpful when Brandon took a look at all the work submitted for that week or all the work the student completed as a whole and told the student what they generally struggled with throughout their work.
