Workshop Overview:
This workshop focuses on the art of envisioning and crafting powerful paintings that transcend mere replication of photographs. We will dissect your artistic goals, guiding you in reimagining them to enhance the final result.
Learn how to see and break down shapes, control your values, explore thoughtful composition, push colour and most of all, design your paintings with the viewer in mind, not the reference.
Join us in an inspiring workshop that will forever change your approach to painting.
About the Instructor - Michael King
Michael King, a Canadian painter, is passionate about plein air (outdoor) painting, concentrating on capturing the essence of the landscape with swift, single strokes of colour. His direct experiences in the outdoors serve as a driving force behind the creation of his more extensive studio works.
Always looking for the nuance of light, shape and colour, he combines representational elements with an Impressionistic style. His paintings strike a balance between realistic observation and abstract interpretation resulting in a unique and captivating aesthetic.
Having acquired a formal education in Industrial Design from Carleton University in Ottawa, King's professional journey in product design has significantly shaped his perspective on fine art. He prioritizes a thorough understanding of the technical facets of painting, creating muscle memory that allows the educated subconscious to assume control, simplifying the painting process.
As an avid instructor, his workshops impart painting and design concepts in a clear and approachable manner. His philosophy is rooted in the scientific fundamentals of perception and observation, coupled with time-tested art principles.
