Portrait Demonstration by John Ebersberger Well Attended!

The MDSPP sponsored a portrait demonstration by Annapolis artist John Ebersberger on May 15. The well attended event was held at Maryland Hall for the Creative Arts. The audience was able to glean information and insights as they asked John questions while he painted a wonderful likeness and color study of Sharon Littig.

Graduating from Maryland Institute College of Art (MICA) in 1977, John continued his artistic study with Cedric Egeli and later with Henry Hensche.
John was an artist in residence at Maryland Hall for the Creative Arts for over 20 years and currently teaches weekly classes and workshops at Maryland Hall.
In 2008 Mr. Ebersberger was awarded the Certificate of Excellence by the Portrait Society of America for his portrait "MacKenzie." He won Best in Show for his outdoor sunlight portrait in Paint Annapolis 2009. Additionally, John's outdoor portrait of his neice, "Anna" is one of ten finalists in the American Artist magazine cover contest. It will be featured in the July issue.
