PURSUING BEAUTY & EXCELLENCE IN PAINTING
SEPT 22-25, 2026 / $800 / KINSTLER STUDIO, EASTON, CT
CLASS DESCRIPTION:
I was fortunate to take many workshops with Everett Raymond Kinstler over two decades. His instruction changed me as a painter and a teacher. I am honored to share some of this wisdom in his home studio. My workshop deals with the underlying truth of making a strong painting. Our goal is not just to report what the subject looks like, but to find the character, the poetry of each subject while preserving each artists particular point of view. This directive was at the heart of Mr.Kinstler’s teaching and has become central to my teaching as well. Instruction will be demonstration and powerpoint lecture. The small class size will ensure tons of easel side help. A color booklet of notes and online help available for those who wish to complete the work started in class.
