" Immediacy is apparent in
my work because it is the
nature of his subjects and
the most instinctive way to
paint. "The process is like a
performance. It combines
the magic of spontaneity
with candid observation of
people." Form and light are
critical elements in my
compositions of street and
market scenes, fishing
boats and interiors".
    Learn how to swiftly capture
    gesture, light, and form!  
    Discover how to paint quickly
    and accurately concentrating on
    the “process”.  Working with a
    model, numerous small studies
    will be painted daily.  Techniques
    for achieving a spontaneous
    controlled approach will be
    practiced.  A working palette will
    be developed simplifying the
    comparison of color and value,
    an essential part of picture
    making.  Kim’s Gold Medal
    artwork has been featured in
    Southwest Art Magazine, Artists
    Magazine, and in the book
    Figure Drawing Workshop by
    Carole Katchen. He has also self-
    published a book of his work.

Class Outline

    Numerous small studies will be painted each day followed by a review.

    The class will be working outside, not only with the landscape, but also with a model.

    We will also be working with the model in the studio for at least one full day.

    Individual attention is Kim English’s specialty.
