I have survived painting with
Kim English! Wow! We did oodles of 5-minute studies of the models, painting the gestures in oil, trying with each effort to get a little more of the painting in the landscape. Kim is the master of this beautiful painting style with lots of light in each of his paintings. It was a thoroughly invigorating class. Moss does not grow on a rolling stone, as they say...
The upper photo shows Kim with his 5-minute study. Is he kidding? The lower studies are a few of my 5-minute paintings. Kim's reputation had preceded him. He is a terrific teacher, tough taskmaster, relentless supporter of painters. He seems to want all to succeed and grow and learn.
Love this. Would love to take from him sometime. Your studies are very good!
ReplyDeleteHi Suzanne, I like these a lot - very Milton Avery, fresh!
ReplyDeleteAmazing what can happen in 5 minutes ! Great studies, Suzanne.
ReplyDeleteMerci pour ce partage photographique... Il est vraiment intéressant de voir l'évolution de cette démonstration.
ReplyDeleteGros bisous
I like these a LOT! I think you did an amazing job in 5 mins.
ReplyDeleteI took anatomy with Kim in the 80"s at the Art Student League in Denver.
He was a fabulous teacher even then.
I like these studies..what a great idea! I love your painterly style, it's beautiful!
ReplyDeleteJust wonderful, Suzanne, love the 5 minute studies. Lucky you to take a class with Kim English, his work is so exciting. Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteYour quick studies are great—so innocent and yes, Milton Avery-like. I love Kim English's work. You are a lucky girl!
ReplyDeleteA painting in 5 min. would stress me out, but I'm sure I would learn from it. I will have to visit Kim's website... interesting. I almost took Nancy Franke's workshop last week, but instead I went back to NYC to visit my new grandbaby... not twins, thank goodness. My daughter is worn out with only one new baby!
