During this class you will learn techniques for painting quickly and accurately. We will concentrate on identifying the big relationships within your paintings. Each day will be spent working from the model, both in the studio and outside. Working with gesture the first day, we will begin by studying proportion and structure. As we progress through the week, the environment will take priority, searching how to place the figure in context with the scene. Expect to paint numerous small studies each day.

Mr. English says, “Immediacy is important not only because it is the nature of people, but for me, it is the most instinctive way to paint. The process is like a performance…”
Kim receives his inspiration traveling throughout the world, capturing images of everyday life.
