Randy Hale's introduction to
watercolour came about as an
undergraduate at Principal College
above St. Louis. His mentor and
instructor was James Green, an original
member of notable watercolourists
coming out of Choinard and Art Centre
in Los Angeles during the the early
1930's. They included such notable
names as Robert Woods, Rex Brandt,
Barse Miller, Milford Zornes and Millard
Sheets. These watercolorists were
instrumental in creating a distinct style
that has become known as the
California school of watercolour. And
one can easily recognise their influence
in his own artistic work to this day.
He also earnt a graduate degree in
business from the University of Denver.
However, his immersion in studies at
California's prestigious Art Centre
College of Design in Pasadena, CA was
where he crafted a solid foundation in
composition and design.
