Painting the Portrait with Timothy Rees
We are excited to welcome Tim Rees for this pair of workshops, all about the portrait!
Take your artwork to the next level with a dive into Timothy Rees’s painting process. In this four-day workshop, participants will have the luxury of exploring all the aspects that go into development of his award winning portraits.
Choice of two dates:
• June 19, 20, 21, 22 (Thursday-Sunday)
• June 26, 27, 28, 29 (Thursday-Sunday
Fee: $595 + Model fees, estimated at $65-$100
Each day will be divided for participants to follow along at an engaging rhythm. Students will watch Timothy demonstrate and lecture for the first half of the morning, then paint from the same pose the second half of the morning, repeating the format in the afternoon. Partitioning the time in this way will help students to absorb each lesson more fully, as well as provide time for the oil paint to set up to allow for more advanced edge manipulation throughout the piece. By the end of the workshop, students will have a layered oil painting that expresses dynamic, richly colored, sculptural qualities that bring their portrait to life.

Timothy Rees paints a range of subjects and in various techniques, but is best known for his loose all prima portraits, striking life-size figure paintings, and naturalistic outdoor figure paintings of women and children. While some of his work has a narrative or a message, he says the most important thing with his paintings is to add to the inherent beauty of the world while visually exploring the experiences that unite humanity.
