Charles Moonche
Charles Muench was an American realist painter who was born into a family with a strong artistic atmosphere. Charles Moonchi used realist painting techniques to capture the rugged cliffs of the eastern mountains. Strokes have a dual function. They represent the subject matter of the paintings, but are still interesting for their textures, values, and colors. Charles Moonchi, who loves to document insects, mountains, woods in remote sierra Leone with a paintbrush, said: "The process of painting from the source is the only way I know how to achieve realism in art. The process of creating a painting requires an understanding of the basic principles and diligent practice. A keen voice is also needed to hear the quiet murmurs and revelations of nature. When I paint outdoors, I liken this experience to a conversation with nature. It was as if she had thrown up a topic and we discussed it on the canvas. I was listening to the thoughts of nature, almost subconsciously, without talking about anything else, intensifying our communication.
